...AIR STAGNATION ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM PST
THURSDAY...

* WHAT...Poor air quality will continue. This is due to an inversion
  and stagnant air conditions near the surface that will continue to
  trap pollutants.

* WHERE...All inland valleys of southern Oregon, including but not
  limited to the Rogue, Illinois, Umpqua, and Klamath valleys. This
  includes the cities of Medford, Ashland, Klamath Falls, Roseburg,
  Grants Pass, Elkton, Canyonville, Cave Junction, Lakeview,
  Coquille, and Myrtle Point.

* WHEN...Until 10 AM PST Thursday.

* IMPACTS...Poor air quality may cause issues for people with
  respiratory problems.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Strong valley inversions, very shallow mixing
  layers of less than 1000 feet, and calm winds are expected
  throughout the advisory time, especially during the overnight and
  morning hours. A weak front on Thursday may allow for a brief
  period of improved mixing and particulate dispersion.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Persons with respiratory illness should follow their physicians
advice for dealing with high levels of air pollution during periods
of stagnant air.

State air quality agencies highly recommend that no outdoor burning
occur and that residential wood burning devices be limited as much
as possible. According to state air quality agencies, prolonged
periods of stagnant air can hold pollutants close to the ground
where people live and breathe. Check with your local burn agency for
any current restrictions in your area.
