HAWAIIAN VOLCANO OBSERVATORY DAILY UPDATE U.S. Geological Survey Thursday, March 5, 2026, 8:45 AM HST (Thursday, March 5, 2026, 18:45 UTC)Current Volcano Alert Level: WATCH Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE Activity Summary: The Halema?uma?u eruption of Kilauea is paused. Episode 42 ended February 15 at 11:38 p.m. HST. Inflation continued over the last 24 hours and the modeled forecast window for the onset of episode 43 lava fountaining is now March 10-15. Summit Observations: Continuous glow at the south vent and more intermittent glow at the north vent were visible in webcams overnight. This morning, both vents remain quiet and emitting steady gas plumes. Continuous low level seismic tremor was observed over the last 24 hours. Analysis: The initial rapid rebound of tilt and glow from both vents indicate that another fountaining episode is likely. The overall inflationary trend has been interrupted by periods of no inflation or slight deflation recorded across all four summit tiltmeters that may impact the onset of episode 43 fountaining. Periods of weak deflation or no inflation have not been common in the early stages of repose between fountaining episodes. These changes in tilt rate are not predictable and create uncertainty in modeling the onset of episode 43 fountaining. Models suggest the forecast window for the start of episode 43 fountaining is likely between March 10 and March 15. The forecast window may change if inflation is interrupted by additional periods of deflation. |
