Description:
Lava fountaining from Kilauea eruption episode 49 started this
morning at 9:36 AM HST. The latest radar imagery shows the
highest detectable ashfall (tephra) from the lava fountaining is
currently rising to around 10,000 feet above ground level this
morning. Low level trade winds continue to push the ashfall
particles toward the southwest direction on radar, and any
additional ash from this eruption will likely fall near the
Kilauea eruption source and over portions of the Kau District
immediately southwest of Halemaumau Crater.
Avoid excessive exposure to ash which is an eye and respiratory
irritant. Those with respiratory sensitivities should take extra
precaution to minimize exposure.
