Statement as of 11:07 PM PST on January 18, 2014

... Air stagnation advisory remains in effect until 4 am PST
Saturday...

An air stagnation advisory remains in effect until 4 am PST
Saturday.

* Synopsis... strong high pressure will strengthen again this
weekend into next week. A trough passage around Thursday may
weaken the high pressure slightly but this trough is not
expected to be strong enough to remove the stable air mass.

* Locations include: Beatty... Bly... Chemult... Crescent...
Gilchrist... Sprague River... Lakeview... Altamont... Klamath
Falls.

* Impacts... the strong inversion will limit mixing of the air.
This will cause airborne particulates and pollutants to be
trapped resulting in the potential of deteriorating air
quality. Those sensitive to diminished air quality should
take precautions to limit exposure.

of an air mass across the advisory area... pollution will
increase.
