USGS Update 2008-Jan-27 14:17

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 northeast.

Recent observations: At 10:49 PM on Saturday night, a small slip event coincided with a short episode of minor earthquakes. Such activity is typical during dome growth, and the mountain is quiet today. No views into the crater are possible while a winter storm sets in.
