An Air Stagnation Advisory has been extended through 12:00 p.m. on Friday for much of southern Oregon.
Forecasters at the National Weather Service said a strong inversion and stagnant air conditions near the surface will continue to trap pollutants.
The Advisory area includes the valleys of Douglas, Josephine, Jackson, Klamath, Lake and eastern Coos and Curry counties. This applies to the cities of Roseburg, Grants Pass, Medford, Klamath Falls, Lakeview and surrounding areas.
Forecasters said stagnate air conditions may lead to worsening air quality, which in turn may cause issues for people with respiratory problems.
