Alaska Peninsula

Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 5:00 PM AKDT on May 21, 2013


... Minor ashfall possible in Nelson Lagoon and Port Moller...

Significant cloud cover around and to the north of Pavlof Volcano is
limiting observation of possible ash emissions. However... monitoring
instrumentation indicates that there is potential for continued ash
emission. Low level winds would carry any ash north to northeast
from the Volcano.

Areas north and northeast of Pavlof Volcano including the
communities of Nelson Lagoon and Port Moller may see a dusting of
ashfall through tonight.

People are cautioned to avoid excessive exposure to ash... especially
those with respiratory sensitivities. Protect critical electronics
and other equipment from contamination.
