Areas of dense and freezing fog are expected during the nighttime and morning in valleys of Douglas, Jackson, and Josephine counties through Wednesday morning. Frost may develop on paved surfaces with low temperatures in the upper 20s and lower 30s. Take caution. Turn on your low beam lights, drive slowly, and keep your distance from other vehicles. Consider delaying travel until conditions improve in the afternoons. Learn more about these conditions by visiting at weather.gov/safety/fog.
High pressure aloft will dominate the region through Wednesday. This will result in stable air over inland valleys in addition to dry weather across the area. The result will be very little mixing of the airmass which may lead to poor air quality for valleys due to the stagnant air.
Conditions remain quiet for now, but active weather will return to the region just in time to ring in the New Year.
