USGS Update 2008-Feb-15 09:23

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 SE this morning, but more directly E this afternoon.

Recent observations: Seismicity at the volcano continues to be very low. It is a clear sunny day there again this morning. Yesterday, helicopter-supported field crews were able to complete some maintenance at instrument sites, and more work is planned for today. A flight to monitor volcanic gases over the volcano is also planned for today.
