...PERIODS OF ASHFALL LIKELY FROM KILAUEA VOLCANO...


Episode 54 of lava fountaining in Halemaumau began at 10:30 HST
this morning. Web cams and radar data indicate that occasional
small bursts of volcanic ash continue to emanate from Halemaumau
Crater. Low level trade winds will push ash toward the southwest,
and any ash fallout will likely occur over the Kau District and
Highway 11 southwest of the town of Volcano. This includes the
communities of Pahala, Wood Valley, Naalehu and Ocean View.

Avoid excessive exposure to ash which is an eye and respiratory
irritant. Those with respiratory sensitivities should take extra
precaution to minimize exposure.
