USGS lists the volcano alert level as ADVISORY and the aviation color code as YELLOW. Agency synopsis: HVO Kilauea YELLOW/ADVISORY – Kīlauea volcano is not erupting; the summit eruption in Halemaʻumaʻu is paused. Summit inflation remains stalled for the past 24 hours after a day of deflation. A forecast window of September 7-13 is likely for the next fountain episode. An elevated alert level alone does not establish that a new eruption has begun.

This is a developing story; updates will be added as USGS issues them.
