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

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

The Advisory area includes valley locations west of the Cascades in Douglas, Josephine and Jackson counties and east of the Cascades in Klamath and Lake counties.

Forecasters said poor air quality may 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.
