...LIGHT ASHFALL DECREASING FROM KILAUEA VOLCANO...

Latest radar data indicate that the volcanic ash from Kilauea`s
Halemaumau Crater during episode 38 has decreased this evening.
Radar observations show that the volcanic plume rises to 13,000
feet above mean sea level. Light ashfall is drifting southwestward
within 5 miles away from the volcano.

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

This will be the last update for light ashfall from episode 38
unless significant changes in volcanic activity occur.
