USGS Update 2008-Jan-23 09:51
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 westward.
Recent observations: Mount St. Helens is clear today. Weather permitting, field crews will be visiting the volcano today to carry out maintenance on monitoring instruments. Seismicity remains at low levels.
