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 southwest at high altitudes and west-southwest at low altitudes.

Recent observations: The volcano is in the clear today, with strong winds from the east blowing snow from the upper flanks. Minor steaming is evident from the new dome. Occasional microearthquakes have occurred during the past 24 hours, consistent with the ongoing low-levels of eruptive activity.
