The volcano is still at “code yellow” status, according to the observatory, which indicates “elevated unrest.”

A Mount Spurr eruption is ‘likely’ within weeks or months, scientists say
The most probable scenario is an eruption similar to those in 1953 and 1992, each lasting hours and producing clouds of ash that circulated for hundreds of miles around Southcentral Alaska.

Researchers at the Alaska Volcano Observatory reported that the likelihood of an eruption at Mount Spurr, a volcano about 80 miles west of Anchorage, has increased.
They say the most likely outcome of the unrest at the volcano is “one or more explosive events.”

Alaska volcano’s eruption ‘likely,’ could send ash to state’s population centers within weeks
Researchers predict the most likely outcome of the unrest at Mt. Spurr is “one or more explosive events” that could last as long as a few hours and produce ash clouds carried for hundreds of miles.
