REDOUBT VOLCANO (VNUM #313030)

Current Volcano Alert Level: WATCH
Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE

Unrest at Redoubt Volcano continues. No eruption has occurred. Over the past day seismicity has been dominated by volcanic tremor of variable amplitudes and intermittent small earthquakes. This activity is similar to what we have observed over much of the current period of unrest.

Clear views of the volcano by satellite and the Hut web camera show nothing unusual.

AVO continues to monitor Redoubt Volcano closely and the observatory is staffed 24 hours a day.

52°49'20" N 169°56'42" W, Summit Elevation 5676 ft (1730 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: ADVISORY
Current Aviation Color Code: YELLOW

AVO has received no reports of activity at Cleveland in the past day. Satellite views have been obscured by clouds today. Low-level ash emissions may occur with little or no warning.
