Air Stagnation Advisory in effect for Northeastern/Central Oregon
An air stagnation advisory is in effect for a large portion of North eastern and Central Oregon including the East Columbia River Gorge, Lower Columbia Basin of Oregon,
Grande Ronde Valley, Wallowa County, the Blue Mountains, John Day River Basin, Central Oregon-Eastern Columbia River Gorge of Washington.
This advisory remains in effect until 10am on Tuesday when conditions are expected to diminish.
During this period, air quality may be moderate to unhealthy at times.
This is due to stagnant air, along with smoke and other pollutants hanging in the air impacting overall air quality at surface level.
An Air Stagnation Advisory indicates that due to limited movement of an air mass across the advisory area...pollution has the potential to increase to dangerous levels.
People 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.
It is recommended to check with your local burn agency for any current restrictions in your area.
