An Air Stagnation Advisory is in effect until 12:00 p.m. on Sunday for parts of southern Oregon.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service said valley locations may see poor quality air. 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 Douglas, Josephine and Jackson counties. This applies to the Umpqua, Illinois, Applegate and Rogue valleys.

Forecasters said poor air quality may cause issues 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.
