Ozone and PM2.5 Air Quality Index (AQI) Forecast
Issued: Monday, October 7, 2024, 2:32 PM
Monday through Wednesday, as Hurricane Milton strengthens and moves from the south-central Gulf to the east-central Gulf, light to moderate northeasterly to northerly winds will aid pollutant dispersion across Louisiana. However, these winds will also transport an area of thin-density smoke into the Bayou State each day. In addition, mostly sunny skies and warm temperatures will support ozone development. As a result, AQI levels will be high-Good to low-Moderate for PM2.5 and Good to high-Good for ozone on all three days.
