Often times in Strato-Volcanoes the "Clearing of the Throat" events before a major eruption are small to moderate ash and steam explosions. These are often times the result of fresh magma that is being injected into the magma chamber and upper plumbing of the volcano interacting with ground water that has accumulated in the volcano. Possibly what is currently occuring on Kanaga or Cleveland in Alaska (See related links to the current eruptive status of these volcanoes at Alaska Volcanoes Observatory website).
