...PERIODS OF ASHFALL LIKELY FROM KILAUEA VOLCANO...

Around 01:30 AM HST (11:30Z) early this morning, local doppler
radar data indicated that bursts of volcanic ash were erupting up
to 20,000 feet at the Halemaumau Crater. Low level trade winds
will push ash toward the west-southwest, and any ash fallout will
likely occur over portions of the Kau District and Highway 11
southwest to west of the town of Volcano. This may include the
communities of Pahala and Wood Valley.

Trade winds are spreading this ash in the same direction, and
repeated eruptions may lead to a heavier buildup of ash in the
local area. Additionally, any ash deposited will be picked up off
the ground by the wind, contributing to dusty conditions.

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