...AIR QUALITY ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM PDT WEDNESDAY...

Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air Quality
Advisory until 1 PM PDT Wednesday.

For the Smoke Air Quality Advisory, wildfires burning in the region
combined with forecasted conditions will cause air quality to reach
unhealthy levels.

Pollutants in smoke can cause burning eyes, runny nose, aggravate
heart and lung diseases, and aggravate other serious health
problems.  Limit outdoor activities and keep children indoors if it
is smoky. Please follow medical advice if you have a heart or lung
condition.
