Hawaiian Volcano Observatory:

Episode 38 ended December 6, at 8:52 p.m. HST after 12.1 hours of sustained fountains and eruptive activity. Moderate glow from both vents overnight, rapid rebound of summit inflation, and continued tremor indicate that another fountain episode is likely. The onset of another episode is at least 2 to 3 weeks away.
