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 eastward in the morning, shifting to northeastward in the evening.

Recent observations: Other than a M2.4 earthquake yesterday evening at 1809 PST, seismicity at the volcano is at low levels. The slow extrusion of lava continues. Clouds associated with an approaching Pacific weather system are beginning to obscure the crater area and views are likely to be limited over the next few days.
