... Minor ashfall possible in Nelson Lagoon and Port Moller...

Significant cloud cover around and to the north of Pavlof Volcano is
limiting observation of possible ash emissions. However... monitoring
instrumentation indicates that there is potential for continued ash
emission. Low level winds would carry any ash northeast from the
Volcano.

Nelson Lagoon and Port Moller may see a dusting of ashfall through
tonight.

People are cautioned to avoid excessive exposure to ash... especially
those with respiratory sensitivities. Protect critical electronics
and other equipment from contamination.
