Yellowstone had massive eruptions 2.1 million years ago, 1.3 million years ago, and 640,000 years ago, as well as several smaller ones. An eruption in the near future would fit the timeline.

"For example, the West Thumb of Yellowstone Lake is a caldera formed during an eruption 160,000 years ago, called the Tuff of Bluff Point." Such smaller eruptions could be explosive too.

Currently, the annual probability of a volcanic eruption at Yellowstone is estimated to be around 0.001 percent, which Stelten said is "probably an overestimate for the short term." ...

YELLOWSTONE volcano could one day wipe out large swathes of the US, and blanket the country in a sea of thick volcanic ash, scientists have gravely warned ahead of eruption.

The science tells us, however, that it’s not correct to say Yellowstone is “overdue” for an eruption, and recent research shows there would likely be at least a few decades of warning signs.
