Special Weather Statement
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.

Special Weather Statement
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.
