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 northeastward.

Recent observations: Wet weather has returned to the Portland-Vancouver area and Mount St. Helens is obscured by clouds. Data from monitoring networks show no change in eruptive conditions, that is, slow dome growth accompanied by low rates of seismicity, ground deformation, and gas emission.
