AQI levels mid- to high-Moderate through Thursday
Tuesday through Thursday, partly to mostly sunny skies and warm temperatures will persist across Louisiana, aiding ozone formation, according to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality’s Tuesday afternoon forecast.
In addition, generally light winds will limit pollutant dispersion, and fireworks displays will lead to locally elevated particle levels overnight and through the morning hours. Scattered clouds and thunderstorms in the afternoon will enhance atmospheric mixing and reduce ozone formation. AQI levels will be mid- to high-Moderate statewide on all three days, according to DEQ.
More information about current air quality and what you can do to help prevent ozone formation is available online at the DEQ website: www.deq.louisiana.gov.
