For all you guys who freak out about shipping, here is the latest on MT Redoubt in Alaska. This will slow down FedEx and UPS again.
Mt. Redoubt: Aviation Color Code RED (Alert level Warning). At 23:26 AKDT (0726Z), Redoubt sent an ash plume to 25,000 ft. The plume headed east and dissipated over Cook Inlet. Strong thermal anomalies suggest a fresh dome is growing at the surface. Winds aloft suggest that any ash from eruptions over the next 24 hours would move east to northeast towards or just south of the Anchorage area at all flight levels. Additional eruptions are possible and the volcano remains active.
