An Air Stagnation Advisory is in effect through 4:00 p.m. Wednesday for parts of southern Oregon.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service said poor air quality will continue. This is due to an inversion and stagnant air conditions near the surface that will continue to trap pollutants.

The Advisory area includes valleys in central Douglas and eastern Curry counties as well as Josephine County.  It applies to the Umpqua, Illinois, Applegate and Rogue valleys.

Forecasters said poor air quality may cause issues for people with respiratory problems. Those with respiratory illness should follow their physician’s advice for dealing with high levels of air pollution during periods of stagnant air.
