Mt. Fitzherbert

Potential ash hazards: Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that any low-level ash clouds rising above the crater rim today would stagnate over the volcano. High-level ash clouds rising above the crater rim would drift westward in the morning and southwestward in the afternoon.

Recent observations: A magnitude 1.5 earthquake occurred at 11:10am on 11/24/08. This morning, steam plumes rising from the new dome barely rise above the crater rim.
