Freezing Fog Advisory
Issued: 7:35 PM Jan. 18, 2026 – National Weather Service
...FREEZING FOG ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 PM PST THIS
AFTERNOON...
...AIR STAGNATION ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM PST
TUESDAY...

* WHAT...For the Air Stagnation Advisory, poor air quality will
continue. This is due to an inversion and stagnant air conditions
near the surface that will continue to trap pollutants. For the
Freezing Fog Advisory, visibility half a mile or less in freezing
fog.

* WHERE...North Central Oregon.

* WHEN...For the Freezing Fog Advisory, until 2 PM PST this
afternoon. For the Air Stagnation Advisory, until 4 PM PST Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...Poor air quality may cause issues for people with
respiratory problems. Low visibility could make driving conditions
hazardous, especially along portions of US-97.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...There will be some improvement this
afternoon, before fog returns this evening and overnight.
However, lingering freezing fog in some areas could still create
spots with reduced visibilities and coupled with temperatures at
or below freezing, there could be slick spots on roadways.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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. Persons 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.
According to state air quality agencies, prolonged periods of
stagnant air can hold pollutants close to the ground, where people
live and breathe. Check with your local burn agency for any current
restrictions in your area.

If driving, slow down, use your headlights, and leave plenty of
distance ahead of you.
