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 southeast, shifting to easterly by this evening.

Recent observations: Views of St. Helens this morning are obscured by clouds, snow, and ice from yet another winter storm. While most instrument sites continue to function, several have experienced transmission problems over the last few days, presumably due to snow/ice accumulation. Seismicity levels remain low.
