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 south.

Recent observations: Seismicity is at normal background levels typical of the last weeks and months. Yesterday field USGS and UW field crews took advantage of the clear weather to make repairs to monitoring equipment in the crater and avoid holiday shopping crowds in town.
