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 2009 Redoubt eruption continues. Seismic activity has been low over the last 24 hours. The lava dome remains unstable and could fail with little or no warning, leading to significant ash emissions and possible lahars in the Drift River valley. Cloudy conditions have obscured satellite and web camera views throughout the day.

AVO continues to monitor Redoubt's activity 24/7. AVO will provide frequent updates of the volcano's status and the earliest possible warning of significant explosive activity and other hazardous phenomena.
