The links below take you to forecasts of vog and wind distribution.
1. UH Manoa Vog Measurement and Prediction project (VMAP)Volcanic gas and particulate data and forecast. Uses volcanic gas emission rates and wind field data to model and predict the concentration and dispersion pattern of volcanic SO2 and sulfate particles.

2. National Weather Service (NWS) Wind ForecastThree day forecast for 10 m and transport level (mixing layer) winds, as well as mixing layer height, for SE Hawaiʻi Island including Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.

3. earthA visualization of global weather conditions forecast by supercomputers, updated every three hours. The link below takes you directly to the SO2 (surface mass) overlay for Hawaii. Overlays for SO4 (SO4ex - sulfate extinction) or PM (DUex - dust extinction) are found by clicking on the 'earth' button, then Mode: Particulates.
4. Windy.comWind and weather forecast using multiple input models. Can set up for email alerts based on wind or other weather condtions.
Contact us or provide feedbackThe Interagency Vog Dashboard is the result of a partnership between the International Volcanic Health Hazard Network (Durham University, UK), Hawaii State Department of Health, the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, Hawaiʻi County Civil Defense, the National Park Service, County of Hawaiʻi (Mayor's Office), CSAV (University of Hawaiʻi), NOAA (National Weather Service) and the US Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency.
The interagency partnership was set up to implement recommendations from a collaborative study between Dr Claire Horwell and the USGS, funded by the British Council Researcher Links Programme and Durham University, UK.
