Above picture: Volcanic tremor has increased in the past half hour. Clear views at the Hut web camera show a large steam plume. Radar data indicate there may be some ash in this plume. There has not been a large explosion since this morning's large eruption at 9:24AM.
A large eruption of Redoubt volcano occurred at 09:24 AKDT (17:24 UTC) this morning. National Weather Service reports the cloud height to be at least 65,000 ft above sea level and pilot reports indicated a plume height of 60,000 ft.
An ashfall advisory is in effect until 4 PM for the western Kenai Peninsula. High level ash (above 30,000 feet) is forecast to pass over Anchorage, but is not expected to produce ash fall.
