Spattering and flames have been nearly continuous at the north vent since 6:30 pm HST. Spatter bursts continue to increase with heights just over 30 feet (10 meters) at 8:30 pm HST. The flames are likely due to burning of hydrogen gas.

Minor spattering within the north vent began before 5:00 pm HST and was more visible as it got darker. Spatter bursts increased in intensity and frequency after 6:35 pm HST.
Standing lava is not currently visible in either vent.

Weak spatter bursts began from the north vent just before 6:50 pm HST tonight. The spatter bursts occur every 1 to 5 minutes with a few stronger bursts during the past 20 minutes. Glow can also be seen from the north and south vents.
