Freezing Fog Advisory
2026-01-09T12:00:00-08:00

* WHAT...For the Freezing Fog Advisory, visibility one quarter mile or less in freezing fog. For the Air Stagnation Advisory Within the valleys in Douglas, Josephine and Jackson Counties, 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...Central Douglas County, Eastern Curry County and Josephine County, and Jackson County. * WHEN...For the Freezing Fog Advisory, until noon PST today. For the Air Stagnation Advisory, from 10 AM this morning to 10 AM PST Sunday. * IMPACTS...Poor air quality may cause issues for people with respiratory problems. Most outdoor burning will likely be prohibited as poor ventilation develops. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A strong area of high pressure will build in through Saturday, then weaken slightly on Sunday. This will lead to poor mixing of the atmosphere and the trapping of pollutants. The high is likely to strengthen again early next week.
