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.

Recent observations: With the inclement weather continuing, the volcano is still not visible through the clouds from Johnston Ridge. Seismic instruments are operating normally, and we are confident that the eruption progresses.
