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 northeastward.

Recent observations: Clear conditions this morning offer good views of the mountain and the growing lava dome. Occasional small earthquakes and dome growth continue. Yesterday, field crews conducted surveys of stream channels, worked on geological mapping, and did instrumentation maintenance in advance of the coming winter season.
