Potential ash hazards: Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that any ash clouds that rise above the crater rim would drift northeastward.

Recent observations: Dry conditions and rockfalls from the dome are generating occasional ash plumes that rise above the volcano but rapidly dissipate. A sustained but lazy vapor plume accompanies these dust plumes. Camera images show continued westward motion of the new lava dome.
