...PERIODS OF LIGHT ASHFALL POSSIBLE FROM KILAUEA VOLCANO...

Lava fountaining episode 47 of the ongoing Halemaumau Crater
eruption began this afternoon at 3:27pm HST. Web cams, satellite
imagery, and radar data indicate that occasional small bursts of
volcanic ash are emanating from Halemaumau Crater up to about
15,000 feet as of 4:30pm HST. Low level trade winds will likely
push ash toward the southwest or west, and any ash fallout will
likely occur over the Kau and South Kona Districts. Of note,
should a higher plume develop during this episode, southwesterly
winds aloft could result in an easterly or northeasterly
dispersion of ashfall instead.

Avoid excessive exposure to ash which is an eye and respiratory
irritant. Those with respiratory sensitivities should take extra
precaution to minimize exposure.
