USGS Update 2007-Nov-20 09:38

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 to the south at low altitudes and southeast at higher altitudes.

Recent observations: The volcano is in the clear this morning and showing a small steam plume from the growing lava dome. Low level seismicity and occasional tilt events continue with no significant changes and indicate that the eruption is continuing at a low levels. Plans have been made to install a new tiltmeter in the crater tomorrow, weather permitting.
