OZONE - 6 Good
Friday, as a surface high pressure system moves into Louisiana, lighter northerly winds will reduce dispersion. Additionally, smoke from numerous agricultural fires will contribute to particle levels. Furthermore, an evening temperature inversion will confine regional smoke and other pollutants near the surface. These conditions will result in high-Good to low-Moderate AQI levels. Saturday, the surface high pressure system will gradually move across Louisiana and depart to the east, producing calm to light southeasterly winds. Furthermore, an upper-level ridge of high pressure will build over the state, limiting atmospheric mixing. These conditions will lead to pollutant accumulation, yielding low-Moderate AQI levels in most cities. Sunday, moderate and gusty south-southwesterly winds will aid low-level mixing and dispersion as a surface low pressure system develops over the central Plains. However, a morning temperature inversion and light winds early in the day will allow for pollutant carryover from Saturday, leading to another day of high-Good to low-Moderate AQI levels in most locations.
