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 to the east.

Recent observations: The volcano is totally obscured by clouds today as another storm front moves through. During the last few days, there has been a modest increase in the frequency, but not the magnitude, of earthquakes, including some earthquakes of the repetitive "drumbeat" type that were so common in the first several months of the eruption.
