Scientists recently updated the public on Mount Spurr volcano’s activity, noting a slight decrease in eruption likelihood due to reduced unrest signs. However, it is still at a yellow alert level due to abnormal activity. Bad weather has hindered further monitoring flights and gas assessments since late March. Earthquakes continue to indicate unrest, and authorities in Anchorage are preparing for possible ashfall, which poses significant air quality and machinery risks. An eruption timeframe remains uncertain, dependent on improved monitoring conditions.
The likelihood of an eruption of Mount Spurr has decreased slightly due to fewer signs of unrest, but it remains at yellow alert because of abnormal activity.
Despite a slight decrease in activity, the AVO cautioned that unrest could either decline or increase again, which would affect eruption probabilities.
Authorities in Anchorage are vigilant about Mount Spurr, preparing for potential ashfall, which would drastically impact air quality and machinery.
AVO scientists emphasized that while monitoring continues, they cannot accurately predict an eruption timeframe without improved weather conditions for data collection.
