Special Weather Statement
Issued: 7:47 AM May. 15, 2026 – National Weather Service
...PERIODS OF LIGHT ASHFALL POSSIBLE FROM KILAUEA VOLCANO... Lava fountaining from Kilauea eruption episode 47 started this afternoon at 3:27 PM HST and continues this evening. The latest radar imagery shows the highest detectable ashfall (tephra) from the lava fountaining is currently rising to around 8,000 feet above ground level this evening. Low level trade winds continue to push the ashfall particles toward the southwest direction on radar, and any additional ash from this eruption will likely fall near the Kilauea eruption source and over portions of the Kau District immediately southwest of Halemaumau Crater. Avoid excessive exposure to ash which is an eye and respiratory irritant. Those with respiratory sensitivities should take extra precaution to minimize exposure. && For more information on the status of Kilauea Volcano, please see; https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/volcanoes/kilauea/volcano-updates.; For health and safety recommendations, please visit the Hawaii; Interagency Vog Information Dashboard at https://vog.ivhhn.org.; Submit your reports and photos of ashfall from eruptions to the USGS; Hawaiian Volcano Observatory at https://hawaiiash.science/report_form
