Starting this thread back up finally. Level Red for Pavlof in Alaska...

PAVLOF VOLCANO (VNUM #312030)
55°25'2" N 161°53'37" W, Summit Elevation 8261 ft (2518 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: WARNING
Current Aviation Color Code: RED

The eruption of Pavlof Volcano continues. After elevation to Aviation Color Code RED yesterday late afternoon, seismic tremor began to decrease somewhat about 0800 UTC (11 pm AKDT) last night. Nighttime web camera images from Cold Bay showed intense lava fountaining at the summit and incandescence from the spatter-fed lava flow on the north flank. Seismic tremor increased again this morning and web camera images and pilot reports indicated the ash and steam plume up to 24,000 ft. ASL. Following an overnight shift in wind direction, the main plume is currently being carried south-southwest of the volcano. Lower-level winds (below 10,000 ft) extend west-southwest and may be carrying trace amounts of ash. There are no reports of ash falling in nearby communities.
