Clouds have obscured the summit of Cleveland volcano for the past 24 hours. There have been no clear satellite views or reported activity.
Without a real-time seismic network on the volcano, AVO is unable to track local earthquake activity related to volcanic unrest, provide forecasts of eruptive activity, or confirmation of explosive, ash-producing events. AVO is monitoring the volcano using satellite data as it becomes available.
