Episode 24 is likely to begin today or tomorrow. The forecast window has been extended as summit inflation continues and forecast models are updated with new data. Magma is close to the surface and precursory low-level activity continues.

Halema‘uma‘u eruption remains paused. Episode 24 will likely start within 3 days, possibly within 24 hours. Summit inflation continues. Precursory activity at surface is minimal (glow, occasional inconsistent spattering in north vent).

North vent lava fountains exceeding 1,000 ft (300 m) and south vent fountains exceeding 500 ft (150 m) in height. Lava flows covering crater floor. SO2 gas emissions estimated at 50,000-75,000 tonnes/day. A lot of suspended ash in plume.
