NEWS BRIEFS

• The flow field was active but somewhat quiet on Sunday. Civil defense observed early in the day that the breakouts were “very sluggish” and not advancing.
• It remains to be seen what effect, if any, the breakout from a lava tube 1 mile northeast of Puʻu ʻŌʻō will have on the flow field in Pahoa.
