At 7:18 a.m. on Saturday, the National Weather Service issued an updated air stagnation advisory for the Oregon Lower Treasure Valley that would be in place until 4 p.m.
“For the Air Stagnation Advisory in valleys, an extended period of stagnant air, with light winds and little vertical mixing,” the weather agency said. This is because pollutants will continue to be trapped by an inversion close to the surface. Visibility in strong fog is less than one mile, according to the strong Fog Advisory.
“Those who have respiratory disorders may experience complications as a result of poor air quality. Driving conditions could be dangerous due to low visibility, the weather agency said. “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. Use your headlights, slow down, and give yourself plenty of space if you’re driving.
