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 and east.

Recent observations: Stormy weather continues, although currently the USFS camera shows a break in the weather at the volcano. Snow blankets the mountain and the cameras view of the pumice plain. Early this morning, we lost three seismic stations for a period of several hours, but they are now on line. During that time, all other seismic stations were in operation. Deformation and seismic signals indicate that extrusion of the lava dome continues.
