Overview
- USGS and the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory report active streams and periodic overflows from summit vents through the weekend.
- Agency models indicate the next episode, numbered 37 in the year-long sequence, could begin by Tuesday.
- HVO logged at least 24 overflows from the south vent since Friday, with dome-shaped fountains near 30 feet and gas plumes from both vents.
- Sulfur dioxide output is about 1,200 to 1,500 metric tonnes per day, described by USGS as consistent with an eruption pause.
- Officials say hazards include vog, Pele’s hair and tephra near the vents, while activity remains inside the park and is not threatening homes.
