AIR STAGNATION ADVISORY FOR MUCH OF SOUTHERN OREGON

January 17, 2025 4:10 a.m. 

An Air Stagnation Advisory is in effect until 12:00 p.m. Friday for much of southern Oregon.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service said moderate to poor air quality will continue through the next few days. This is 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.

Poor and unhealthy air quality may cause issues for people with respiratory problems.

State air quality agencies highly recommend that no outdoor burning occurs and that residential wood burning devices be limited as much as possible.
