Air quality and the risk of fire spread continue to be major concerns. Poor air quality can have detrimental effects on public health, leading to respiratory problems and other illnesses. With the increased occurrence of wildfires, the risk of fire spreading is also a pressing issue. These fires can cause extensive damage to forests, wildlife, and human property, as well as pose a threat to lives. It is crucial for governments and communities to address these concerns by implementing effective measures to improve air quality and prevent the spread of fires..
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) – The current weather pattern is not expected to change much in the coming days. That does not spell good news for air quality and fire concerns.
Jeff Morrow and the WAFB First Alert weather team provide an update on What We’re Tracking Next on Tuesday, September 19.
An Ozone Action Day has been declared for Tuesday as ozone levels are forecast to reach code “orange” unhealthy for sensitive groups. People with breathing sensitivities should limit exposure to outside.
We will get an updated forecast for tomorrow later this afternoon. A burn ban remains in place until further notice for the entire state. The thing we need to help both these issues in rain. Unfortunately, rain is going to be hard to come by in the coming days.
The forecast remains very dry over the next 10 days. A weak front will push into the area early next week bringing our next chance for rain. Moisture levels don’t look very impressive so rain coverage will be limited, and rain intensity won’t amount to much. Drought conditions will prevail and could get worse going into next week.
Temperatures will stay fairly stagnant with daytime highs in the mid 90°s and morning lows in the low 70°s. These numbers are a handful of degrees above normal.
