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 northeast or east.

Recent observations: No significant changes in seismicity or ground deformation have been detected in the past 24 hours, and seismicity remains generally low. A magnitude 3.3 earthquake yesterday at 4:42 PM and a magnitude 3.1 earthquake yesterday at 6:58 PM generated rockfalls and associated small ash clouds. The ash clouds rose just above the crater rim and quickly dissipated. The U.S. Geological Survey and the University of Washington continue to monitor the situation closely and will issue additional updates and changes in alert level as warranted.
