The extrusive eruption at the volcano continues at generally elevated levels.
Visible glow and near-constant emissions of gas and small amounts of ash suggest continued rise of fresh viscous magma accumulating into the growing lava dome. The pilling hot and loose lava material is prone to collapse, thereby increasing risk of very dangerous pyroclastic flows. Near-frequent glowing dome blocks, emanating from the lava dome, and hot avalanches resulting from lava flow fronts continue to descend over the southeastern dome slope.
