# HEADLINE -------------------- PERIODS OF ASHFALL LIKELY FROM KILAUEA VOLCANO # SUMMARY -------------------- Episode 54 of lava fountaining in Halemaumau began at 10:30 HST this morning. Web cams and radar data indicate that occasional small bursts of volcanic ash continue to emanate from Halemaumau Crater. Low level trade winds will push ash toward the southwest, and any ash fallout will likely occur over the Kau District and Highway 11 southwest of the town of Volcano. This includes the communities of Pahala, Wood Valley, Naalehu and Ocean View. Avoid excessive exposure to ash which is an eye and respiratory irritant. Those with respiratory sensitivities should take extra precaution to minimize exposure.
