The closest active lava flow to Pahoa Village Road was 0.4 mile upslope of the road.
Other active breakouts were located above the cemetery below Apaa Street and in various areas upslope of the transfer station. None of the flows pose an immediate threat to residents.
Scientists are also tracking a new breakout about a mile northeast of Puu Oo cone.
Smoke conditions are moderate with light tradewinds blowing smoke in the south-southeast direction. Officials advise residents downwind with respiratory problems to remain indoors as smoke conditions might increase in some areas.
