Ozone and PM2.5 Air Quality Index (AQI) Forecast
Issued: Sunday, May 11, 2025, 2:32 PM
Sunday, a surface low pressure system over Louisiana will produce partly to mostly cloudy skies and scattered showers, limiting ozone production. In addition, pollutant carryover from Saturday will be low. Therefore, despite lighter winds reducing dispersion, AQI levels will be Good to high-Good. Monday, as the surface low departs and high pressure builds over Texas, light westerly to west-southwesterly winds will limit dispersion. In addition, increasing sunshine and warmer temperatures will aid ozone production. These conditions will yield high-Good to low-Moderate AQI levels in most cities. Tuesday, partly sunny skies and temperatures around 85-90F will enhance ozone development. In addition, southerly to south-southwesterly winds will transport pollutants into the Bayou State, increasing particle concentrations. As a result, AQI levels will be low- to mid-Moderate in most locations.
