* WHAT...For the Freezing Fog Advisory, visibility one quarter mile
  or less in fog and freezing fog. For the Air Stagnation Advisory,
  light winds and limited air movement will lead to a period of
  stagnant air conditions. This scenario could result in the build
  up of air pollutants over time.

* WHEN...For the Freezing Fog Advisory, until 11 AM PST Thursday.
  For the Air Stagnation Advisory, until 4 AM PST Thursday.

* IMPACTS...Poor air quality may cause issues for people with

  droplets may freeze on contact with surfaces, with slick spots on
  roadways possible overnight into early Thursday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If driving, slow down, use your headlights, and leave plenty of

State air quality agencies highly recommend that no outdoor burning

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.

People with respiratory illness should follow their physician`s
advice for dealing with high levels of air pollution during periods
of stagnant air, especially if an Air Quality Alert is in effect for
your area. To see if an Air Quality Alert is in effect for your
