Doubts about Mount Redoubt...

and its immediate eruption potential have resulted in the Alaska Volcano Observatory to downgrade the alert status from ORANGE to YELLOW:
"AVO lowered the Aviation Color Code and Alert Level to YELLOW/Advisory this morning. Seismic activity is low but above background levels. It remains possible for unrest at the volcano to change rapidly, advancing from relatively low levels to eruption in time periods as short as 24 hours or less.

AVO will continue to monitor Redoubt closely, but will no longer be formally staffed 24 hours per day."
I doubt we've heard the last of this restless volcano.
