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 northeastwardly early in the day to more eastwardly later in the day.

Recent observations: A storm hit the area early this morning and the volcano is shrouded in clouds. Deformation and seismic signals indicate that the lava-dome growth continues. PNSN webicorder records are very noisy due to winds accompanying the storm and the crater AFM is recording increased crater stream flow. During periods of intense rain, small debris flows may form and move beyond the crater mouth onto the Pumice Plain.
