The UWD tiltmeter is not currently providing reliable data. HVO staff are working to resolve this issue. In the meantime, the SDH and IKI tiltmeters remain operational.

The earliest episode 15 might start is very late tonight March 24 or in the wee hours of Tuesday March 25 if current inflation rates continue. If inflation rates slow, the onset of episode 15 may be delayed by a day.

Episode 15 is now most likely to start late today (Monday, March 34) or tomorrow due to the lack of summit inflation over the past 24 hours. Additional revisions may be necessary if inflation rates remain low.

The Uēkahuna tiltmeter (UWD) malfunctioned Friday March 21. UWD data was used to calculate likely windows of time for the next episode to begin. Data from Sandhill tiltmeter (SDH) is now being used with an adjusted model.
