ALASKA VOLCANO OBSERVATORY STATUS REPORT
U.S. Geological Survey
Thursday, July 9, 2009, 3:20 PM AKDT (Thursday, July 9, 2009, 23:20 UTC)

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

No significant changes have been observed at Redoubt. Seismicity at the volcano remains slightly above background and web camera views show continued steaming from the lava dome. The lava dome remains potentially unstable, and could collapse with little or no warning, likely resulting in high-level ash production, hot lava block and ash flows, and possible flooding in the Drift River valley.

Earlier today, AVO moved off 24/7 staffing of its Operations center.

CLEVELAND VOLCANO (VNUM #311240)
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 observed no further activity at Cleveland since the small eruption on June 25. Clouds have obscured views of the volcano in recent satellite and web camera images.
