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 to northeastward.

Recent observations: Clouds obscure the volcano today. Seismic records show low-level seismicity typical of the ongoing lava-dome extrusion during the past several months. Seismic stations are noisy and, in some cases, may cut out owing to wind and rain.
