An Air Stagnation Advisory is in effect through 10:00 a.m. Tuesday for much of southern Oregon.

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

The Advisory area includes central Douglas County and its eastern foothills, Josephine and Jackson counties, eastern Curry County and the Klamath Basin.

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