Mount St. Helens spewed out a cloud of ash thousands of feet in the air Tuesday afternoon.

KING TV in Seattle broadcast scenes of the emission. Station meteorologist Jeff Renner reported that wind patterns were forecast to take the ash over the Cascade Range, not over population centers.

There was no indication yet whether there was any eruption from the volcano.
