The rest of the story

Currently a plume of mostly water vapor, gas, and possibly a small amount of ash is rising above Redoubt to about 15,000 feet.

Minor ashfall resulting from the 06:00 AKDT explosive event was reported in Homer, Anchor Point, Seldovia, and on the west side of Cook Inlet about 30 miles south of the volcano. At this time, it appears ash fall has mostly ceased in these areas.

The Mt. Redoubt alert level remains WARNING and aviation color code remains RED.

AVO will be attempting to overfly the volcano later today.
