It looks like things will start to progress more rapidly now that hotter and less viscous magma is coming up to the surface.

I happened to catch the new one opening up around 10 PM MDT. There was absolutely no drama, which should scare the hell out of people who want to do volcano tourism at this thing.

Panoramic live video, new vent is second from right and the only one showing incandescent lava in the lousy weather:
