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 ENE.

Recent observations: MSH is cloudy this morning but the cloud cover will likely burn off by mid-day. Seismicity remains at levels typical throughout the last months. AFM flow monitors indicate that water flow out of the crater continues at the slightly elevated levels seen since the abrupt but small water flow event of friday evening (June 6, 6-9pm local time). No increase in flow levels is registered by the flow monitor on the pumice plain nor downstream at Elk Rock. Correction to yesterdays update: Yesterdays update incorrectly stated that no flow monitor downstream of the crater registered any increased flow. However, the small flow event of friday evening was instrumentally registered as a small increase in signal level at the flow monitor on the pumice plain. It was not registered at the Elk Rock monitor.
