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 northward.

Recent observations: Mount St. Helens is clear again today. Seismicity continues to occur at a low rate consistent with the ongoing slow eruption. USGS field crews were at the volcano yesterday doing maintenance on the monitoring instrumentation.
