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 and southeast.

Recent observations: Mount St. Helens remains shrouded in clouds this morning. Generally stormy weather continues in the region, and more snowfall is expected today and tonight. Seismicity at the volcano remains very low. While most instrument sites continue to function, several have experienced transmission problems over the last few days, presumably due to snow/ice accumulation.
