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: Views of the crater from Johnston Ridge Observatory are partly obscured by fuliginous clouds this morning. Monitoring instruments continue to record small earthquakes,rock falls and steady ground deformation consistent with on-going extrusion of the lava dome. There have been no significant changes in seismicity or deformation during the last 24 hours.
