| | HAWAIIAN VOLCANO OBSERVATORY CURRENT STATUS REPORT
U.S. Geological Survey Monday, November 3, 2014 5:32 PM AKST (Tuesday, November 4, 2014 02:32 UTC)
KILAUEA VOLCANO (VNUM #332010)
19°25'16" N 155°17'13" W, Summit Elevation 4091 ft (1247 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: WARNING
Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE
Scientists of the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory conducted ground observations of the June 27th lava flow throughout the day on Monday, November 3, 2014. The leading edge of the flow has not advanced since Thursday, but active breakouts of lava were present just upslope of the stalled front.
As of 5 PM, HST, the most significant activity was a small finger of lava advancing downslope along the north edge of the private property that the flow entered last week. This lobe was about 160 meters (175 yards) behind the stalled front and was moving parallel to the main (now largely inactive) flow lobe at a rate of 10 meters (11 yards ) per hour since Monday morning. Other areas of persistent breakouts over the past few days were relatively quiet. Minor expansion of the flow field has occurred in the pasture below the Pāhoa cemetery, and there was very little activity in the vicinity of the transfer station.
The summit experienced slight inflation throughout Monday, consistent with the late stages of the most recent DI event.
Daily updates about Kīlauea's ongoing eruptions, recent images and videos of summit and East Rift Zone volcanic activity, and data about recent earthquakes are posted on the HVO Web site at http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov.
The scheduled overflight on Monday was canceled due to bad weather, but an overflight is planned for Wednesday. HVO field crews will be on the ground on Tuesday to track new and existing activity. A daily update will be posted in the morning, and status reports will be issued as new information becomes available. Updates are posted at http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/activity/kilaueastatus.php.
