The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has extended an Air Pollution Advisory through at least 5:00 p.m. Wednesday.

DEQ’s advisory is for eastern Douglas, northern Jackson, and Klamath and Lake counties due to wildfires burning in the region. The DEQ also expects intermittent smoke in southern Jackson County through this period due to smoke from surrounding fires.

The wildfire smoke combined with forecast conditions will cause air quality levels to fluctuate and could be at unhealthy levels.
