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

Around 10:25 PM HST (8:25Z) this evening, local doppler radar
data indicated that small bursts of volcanic ash were erupting
this evening up to 18,000 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.
