An Air Stagnation Advisory remains in effect until 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon for central Douglas County and its eastern foothills, along with much of southern Oregon.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Medford said air quality is likely to worsen due to an inversion and stagnant air conditions near the surface that will trap pollutants. The Advisory area incudes valley locations west of the Cascades in Douglas, Josephine and Jackson counties and east of the Cascades in Klamath and Lake counties.

Forecasters told News Radio 93-9 FM and 1240 KQEN that the stagnant air means it is unlikely that the forecast high temperature will be reached. A system moving up from the south late Wednesday will bring light rain which should help stir up the atmosphere and lead to clearing skies. Increased rain is expected for the upcoming weekend.

Poor air quality will 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.

The high temperature Monday at the Roseburg Regional Airport was 40 degrees. 48 degrees is the normal temperature for this part of December. No precipitation was recorded.
