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

A cold front is expected to sink south of the waters later this
morning. High pressure will return from the west Friday. A warm
front will approach the waters from the south Saturday with a cold
front set to cross through the region on Sunday. These fronts will
bring renewed chances for showers and thunderstorms, especially
during the afternoon and evening hours. High pressure settles over
the region early next week. Small Craft Advisories may be needed at
times on Friday and Saturday, possibly again on Sunday evening and
