Alaska Volcano Observatory warning pilots of ash plume from volcano eruption

The Alaska Volcano Observatory is warning pilots of an ash plume from an eruption at Cleveland volcano Monday night.

According to the AVO, a small explosion was recorded at 10:30 p.m. Monday from the Cleveland volcano.

A small ash plume was observed at 22,000 feet drifting to the south.

Explosions from Cleveland typically produce relatively small volcanic ash clouds that dissipate within hours; however, more significant ash emissions are possible.

No other significant activity was detected but the Alaska Volcano Observatory says local monitoring stations are offline.
