The highest AQ index in Louisiana (as of 20:00 CDT) is currently the Shreveport area. Particle Pollution (PM2.5) is measuring at 72 (Moderate). This means air quality is acceptable. However, there may be a risk for some people, particularly those who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.
Over the next few days, the highest Ozone (OZONE) will be in the Baton Rouge Area area. It is forecasted to be Moderate, meaning air quality is acceptable. However, there may be a risk for some people, particularly those who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.
Monday and Tuesday, mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the 90s and low-100s will aid ozone development. In addition, smoke from regional burning will contribute to particle concentrations. Therefore, despite periods of moderate southwesterly winds aiding dispersion, AQI levels will be low-Moderate in most locations. Wednesday, southwesterly winds will weaken slightly, reducing dispersion. Furthermore, mostly sunny skies and temperatures around 95-100F will continue to support ozone formation. These conditions will yield low-Moderate AQI levels statewide.
