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 east-southeast.

Recent observations: The St. Helens crater can be faintly seen through light precipitation this morning, allowing us to bear witness to the wintry landscape produced by the intense snowfalls of the last several weeks. Despite the storms many instruments continue to function, allowing us to report that seismicity levels remain very low.
