REDOUBT VOLCANO (VNUM #313030)
60°29'7" N 152°44'38" W, Summit Elevation 10197 ft (3108 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: WATCH
Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE

The eruption of Redoubt volcano continues. Seismic data over the past day is indicative of continued lava dome growth. Clouds obscure views of the volcano by satellite and web cameras today. A low-level steam and gas plume that may contain small amounts of ash is likely present.

Additional significant explosive events with accompanying ash clouds, ash fall, and mudflows are possible and can occur with little or no warning. AVO will maintain 24/7 operations in order to quickly detect renewed significant explosive activity and other hazardous phenomena.

Please see the National Weather Service Redoubt coordination page http://pafc.arh.noaa.gov/volcano.php for the latest ash fall information.

AVO has received no new reports of activity at Cleveland over the past 24 hours. Clouds obscure satellite views of the volcano today.
