Kilauea Eruption Update: Episode 57 Fountaining Forecast for Nov. 16-21 Window
The U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reported on Nov. 11 that Kilauea, in Hawaii County, remains at ADVISORY alert level and YELLOW aviation color code amid its ongoing eruption, which began on Dec. 23, 2024. In its 8:25 a.m. HST update, the observatory said Episode 56 fountaining ran from 12:10 p.m. to 6:01 p.m. on Nov. 5, with the north vent alone jetting lava about 660 feet high and the episode producing roughly 8 million cubic yards of lava. Ground tilt has since recovered about 9.6 microradians. Scientists forecast Episode 57 to begin within a window of Nov. 16 to 21, depending on the rate of inflation. The observatory said the summit eruption continues to be monitored around the clock and the next daily update will follow on Nov. 12.
