.SYNOPSIS FOR THE TIDAL POTOMAC AND MD PORTION OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY...

A frontal boundary will slowly drift southward across the waters

 the area for the weekend before a stronger cold front reaches the
area on Monday. A secondary front could follow in the wake by mid-
week. Small Craft Advisories may be needed on Monday.
