Overview
- The National Weather Service’s freezing fog advisory covers Central Oregon until noon, with visibility dropping to a quarter mile or less.
- A dense fog advisory is in effect for the Lane County Lowlands until noon, warning of similarly limited visibility and difficult travel.
- Supercooled droplets can freeze on contact to form rime and near-invisible black ice, increasing crash risk on roads and slickness on sidewalks.
- Drivers are urged to slow down, use low-beam headlights instead of high beams, leave extra following distance, and pull into a safe location if visibility nears zero.
- Poor dispersion under an Air Stagnation Advisory is degrading air quality, and officials recommend avoiding outdoor burning and minimizing residential wood smoke, especially for those with respiratory conditions.
