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 northwestward this morning shifting to north to northeastward by afternoon.

Recent observations: Mount St. Helens can again be seen under clear and sunny skies from the USFS VolcanoCam at Johnston Ridge Observatory. Seismicity remains very low.
