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 generally south all day, trending slightly SSE in the morning and shifting to slightly SSW in the afternoon.

Recent observations: Today's weather is an improvement of the last few days, with the crater mostly clear and visible. The dome-building eruption continues unchanged with slow but steady lava extrusion, accompanied by low levels of seismicity. A steam plume, resulting from normal degassing of the magma, should be visible when the volcano is not obscured by clouds.
