Monday and Tuesday, an upper-level ridge of high pressure will hinder atmospheric mixing over the Bayou State. In addition, light west-southwesterly winds will limit dispersion each day. Furthermore, these winds will gradually transport regional pollutants into Louisiana. As a result, AQI levels will range from high-Good to low-Moderate on both days. Wednesday, isolated thunderstorms will develop across the northern portion of the state, enhancing mixing and reducing ozone formation slightly. However, mostly sunny and hot conditions will continue to support ozone formation over much of Louisiana. Furthermore, light westerly winds will limit dispersion and gradually carry thin Saharan dust into Louisiana, increasing particle levels. Therefore, AQI levels will be low-Moderate statewide.
