Synopsis and Discussion

Particle pollution remains code YELLOW, Friday, ahead of an arctic cold front which will drop through the region later in the day. Behind the front, a much colder, cleaner air mass will overspread the region. At the same time, a huge swath of moisture will stream overhead, resulting in an extended period of heavy winter precipitation through the weekend. As a result, particle pollution will drop back to code GREEN, Saturday and Sunday. Once the winter weather departs the area, a cold, arctic air mass will take over resulting in a contiuation of code GREEN, Monday (GENTRY).
