Mt. Fitzherbert

Potential ash hazards: Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that any ash clouds rising above the crater rim today would drift northeast.

Recent observations: Warm and mostly clear conditions provide views into the Mount St. Helens crater this morning. Subtle but regular seismicity associated with continued lava-dome growth and sporadic ground-shaking due to occasional rock falls continues with extrusion of lava onto the south crater floor. No significant changes have occurred in the last 24 hours.
