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 southeastward.

Recent observations: There is clear viewing into the crater this morning, with a fresh blanket of snow down to about the 4000 foot level. Lava extrusion continues, with occasional earthquakes and rockfall. No significant changes have occurred in the last 24 hours.
