USGS Volcano Hazards Program Volcano Update


AVO update page and observatory web site


Weak elevated surface temperatures were detected at Cleveland in Satellite data from early this morning. Cloudy weather conditions have prevented clear satellite views of Cleveland earlier in the past week. No other activity has been reported.

Sudden explosions of blocks and ash remain possible with little or no warning. Associated ash clouds could exceed 20,000 feet above sea level. If a large ash-producing event occurs, nearby seismic, infrasound, or volcanic lightning networks should alert AVO staff quickly. However, for some events, a delay of several hours is possible. There is no real-time seismic monitoring network on Mount Cleveland and AVO is unable to track activity in real time.
