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

Web cams and radar data indicate that occasional small bursts of
volcanic ash continue to emanate from Halemaumau Crater. Low level
trade winds will push ash toward the southwest, and any ash
fallout will likely occur over the Kau District and Highway 11
southwest of the town of Volcano. This includes the communities of
Pahala, Wood Valley, Naalehu, Ocean View, Milolii and Honaunau,
Captain Cook and Kealakekua.

With winds spreading ash in the same direction, repeated
eruptions will lead to a heavier buildup of ash. In addition, any
ash deposited over the last several days will likely be picked up
by local winds, 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.
