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-southeast.

Recent observations: The summit of Mount St. Helens is variably in and out of cloud today. Teams are in the field, servicing telemetry equipment on the volcano's flanks. Reviews of seismic and tilt data from this past weekend show two periods of seismic tremor and related small scale deformation. However aerial and remote camera observations show that no ash emissions or large steam plumes were produced.
