Okmok update 23 July 08

OKMOK VOLCANO
53°23′49″ N 168°9′58″ W, Summit Elevation 3520 ft (1073 m)
Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE
Current Volcano Alert Level: WATCH

The eruption of Okmok Volcano continues. The character of seismicity has changed in the last 12 hours from episodic, high-amplitude pulses to nearly continuous, mid-level volcanic tremor. Recent satellite data continue to show older plumes drifting away from Okmok toward the E/SE. Weather clouds have prevented unobscured views of the volcano over the last 10 hours.

Stronger explosive activity could resume at any time with little or no warning.
