USGS Update 2008-Jan-13 09:43

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 southeastward early, and more eastward later in the day.

Recent observations: Clear weather affords excellent views of the volcano this morning. After yesterday morning's minor spate of modest (magnitude 2-), shallow earthquakes, the mountain has been quiet and there has been no change in activity in past 24 hours.
