Weak spattering in the north vent transitioned to a 15-30 foot high dome fountain at 11:49 am HST. Continued fountaining filled the vent with lava by 11:59 am HST. Just after noon lava drained back into the vent.

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.

Fountains from the south vent are currently over 600 ft high and about 200 ft high from the north vent. The plume is going straight up due to calm winds. Expect the possible fall of Pele's hair and ash north to overlooks and communities.

Fountains from the south vent are approaching 500 feet high and are over 100 feet high from the north vent.

Degassed lava began erupting again from the south vent at 12:22 p.m. HST and is refilling the channel from the earlier flows.
