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 north-northeastward early in the day, and east-northeastward later in the day.

Recent observations: The volcano is clear today above the valley fog, and the crater is cloaked in new snow. The lava dome continues to extrude, and seismicity continues much as it has over the past several days, with occasional larger earthquakes (M2+)punctuating the constant background of very small earthquakes.
