Saturday and Sunday, smoke from regional agricultural burns will increase particle levels in some areas. However, as surface high pressure builds to the north, light northerly to northeasterly winds will gradually disperse pollutants and carry cleaner air into Louisiana. Additionally, cooler temperatures will limit ozone formation. As a result, AQI levels will range from Good to low-Moderate on both days. Monday, as surface high pressure shifts southward over Louisiana, decreasing northerly winds will hinder dispersion. In addition, smoke from regional agricultural burns will continue to contribute to particle levels. Therefore, AQI levels will be high-Good to low-Moderate.
