Additionally, particle pollution will climb well into the code YELLOW category, Saturday. The front will evenutally dissipate as high pressure builds down the eastern seasboard, Sunday, leading to cloudy skies and cooler temperatures. Particle pollution will continue code YELLOW, Sunday. A strong cold front will approach the state, Monday. Ahead of the front, pollution buildup will keep particle pollution code YELLOW to start the workweek (GENTRY).
