 Special StatementThe latest Air Quality Alerts and Advisories issued by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality will be posted on the "Oregon Smoke Blog". Fire and WeatherThe Middle Fork Complex is now at 21,490 acres and is 21% contained. Firing operations and an uptick in overall fire activity generated more smoke yesterday than we have seen in the past few days. A shallow inversion set up overnight and will break a bit earlier, so fire activity will also pick up earlier this afternoon. We expect hot and dry conditions again today. SmokeA fair amount of smoke was generated yesterday by the Middle Fork fires, as well as those in the Bull and Rough Patch Complexes. Some of this smoke that's still hanging aloft, will mix down as the inversions break, so we can expect air quality to gradually degrade particularly in Eugene, Fall Creek, and Oakridge. Eugene may experience extended periods of 'Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups' this morning and afternoon, before we have some...
