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 to the northeast.

Recent observations: Low clouds have generally precluded views of Mount St. Helens from Johnston Ridge Observatory this morning. Seismicity remains at remarkably low levels as lava extrusion continues onto the south crater floor. There have been no significant changes in the last 24 hours.
