The latest Kilauea web cameras indicate that lava fountaining has subsided and radar imagery shows the volcanic ash plume is now undetectable. Continue to avoid excessive exposure to lingering ash particles which can be picked up by the wind and irritate the eyes and respiratory system. Those with respiratory sensitivities should take extra precaution to minimize exposure. This will be the last update for light ashfall from episode 39 unless significant changes in volcanic activity occur.

Around 8:10 PM HST this evening the Kilauea Volcano began Episode 39 eruption phase at the Halemaumau Crater. Fountain heights are reaching 1,250 feet above ground level based on Hawaii Volcanos Observatory reports. Doppler radar imagery shows the ash plume from this eruption is reaching up to 27,000 feet above Mean Sea Level. Winds are pushing most of the ash particles towards the south to southeast direction away from more populated communities at this time. Avoid excessive exposure to ash which is an eye and respiratory irritant. Those with respiratory sensitivities should take extra precaution to minimize exposure.
