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 southward.

Recent observations: Mount St. Helens is clear today, with a little steam rising from the new dome. Seismicity and deformation remain at low levels as slow extrusion of the new dome continues.
