The National Weather Service issued an updated air stagnation advisory for the West Central Willamette Valley, East Central Willamette Valley, Benton County Lowlands, Linn County Lowlands, and Lane County Lowlands on Tuesday at 5:08 p.m., which will remain in force until Thursday at 4 a.m.
According to the weather service, “The air quality will remain poor.” An inversion and stagnant air near the surface are to blame for this, as they will continue to trap pollutants.
“Those who have respiratory disorders may experience complications as a result of poor air quality. This evening, fog will be reforming. Driving conditions could be dangerous due to low visibility. According to the weather service, “when temperatures drop below freezing, moisture in the fog may freeze on bridges and overpasses, creating slick and icy spots.” “If you’re driving, use your headlights, slow down, and give yourself plenty of space. Later tonight through early Wednesday, be ready for dense fog and maybe slick areas. State air quality organizations strongly advise against outdoor burning and to minimize the number of wood-burning equipment in homes. Long stretches of stagnant air can trap pollutants near the ground where people live and breathe, according to state air quality regulators. For information on any current limitations in your area, contact your local burn agency. When there is a high degree of air pollution during times of stagnant air, people with respiratory illnesses should heed their doctor’s advise, particularly if your location is under an Air Quality Alert.
