Great Sitkin (ORANGE/WATCH): Just a hint of barely elevated surface temperatures that might really just be the snow-free dome surface in a couple clear overnight MIR looks.

Shishaldin (YELLOW/ADVISORY): Weakly elevated temperatures observed in a couple mostly clear overnight views. Steam plume seen in satellite and webcam imagery was also reported by various pilots and the VAAC issued a reassuring "no ash" product. This plume had an SO2 signature as well, captured in both OMPS and TROPOMI data above the noisey background.

Cleveland (GREEN/NORMAL): Moderately elevated surface temperatures in a single clear overnight MIR look. No clear webcam views. Daytime satellite views suggest a bright MIR atmospheric plume, likely generated by the hot and steamy crater.
