USGS Update 2006-Oct-05 09:02
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 southwest this morning and south to southeast later in the day.
Recent observations: Lava continues to extrude onto the south crater floor, associated with sporadic, low level seismicity and periodic tilt of the crater floor. Viewing conditions on the US Forest Service webcam are good this morning.
