Daily Air Quality Forecast for Central, Louisiana

Wednesday, partly to mostly cloudy skies will limit ozone development over much of the Bayou State. Furthermore, scattered showers and thunderstorms will enhance atmospheric mixing, especially over the western portion of the state. However, easterly to southeasterly winds will transport thin regional smoke into Louisiana, raising particle concentrations. Therefore, AQI levels will be low-Moderate in most cities. Thursday, south-southeasterly winds will strengthen slightly as a low-pressure system develops over the Plains, enhancing pollutant dispersion. Additionally, scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to inhibit ozone formation. As a result, AQI levels will be high-Good in most locations. Friday, as a cold front gradually passes just north of Louisiana, periods of moderate south-southwesterly winds will keep pollutants well dispersed. Furthermore, mostly cloudy skies and scattered thunderstorms will limit ozone production. These conditions will yield Good to high-Good AQI levels.
