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 northeastward to east-northeastward.

Recent observations: Winter storms continue and forecasts show little change during the next several days. Analysis of photographs telemetered from field cameras during the past few weeks show that growth continues of a central portion of the lava dome. The photographs reveal the slow rise of a broad heap of rock rubble.
