Sunday, calm to light easterly winds will lead to pollutant build-up across the Bayou State. Furthermore, a weak upper-level ridge of high pressure will limit mixing in the atmosphere. These conditions, combined with any smoke from regional agricultural fires, will lead to high-Good to low-Moderate AQI levels. Monday and Christmas Eve, as surface high pressure gradually departs eastward and a low pressure system approaches from the west, easterly to southeasterly winds will strengthen slightly, increasing pollutant dispersion. However, temperature inversions through the morning and evening hours will inhibit low-level mixing. As a result, AQI levels will be high-Good to low-Moderate on Monday and high-Good in most cities on Tuesday.
