Mount Spurr, an active volcano in Alaska, has shown elevated seismic activity, including 22 earthquakes since April 10. However, scientists at the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) have been unable to gather crucial volcanic gas data due to persistent cloudy weather conditions since March 21. Initially, there were concerns of a likely eruption due to high gas emissions, but the situation has become more uncertain. AVO states that while earthquake activity remains elevated, their assessments indicate that the risk of an eruption has decreased compared to previous forecasts.
When weather conditions become more favorable, collection of new gas data will help us improve this assessment, indicating continuing uncertainties around Mount Spurr's volcanic activity.
Cloudy weather since March 21 has made data collection impossible, which adds to the uncertainty of Mount Spurr's current volcanic status and future predictions.
