KILAUEA VOLCANO (CAVW #1302-01-)
19°25'16" N 155°17'13" W, Summit Elevation 4091 ft (1247 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: WATCH
Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE

Recent Observations at the middle east rift zone vents:

Surface flows continued to be active within the abandoned Royal Gardens subdivision, with active flows slowing in their seaward advance across the coastal plain near the easternmost boundary of Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park; webcams did not show an ocean entry plume and we have not received any first-hand reports that lava has entered the ocean. A new breakout started on the lower pali Thursday morning to the west of the previous flows and continued to advance across the coastal plain through this morning, potentially robbing the more seaward flows of lava supply and slowing their already slow progress.
