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

High pressure will return from the west today. 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 night with
 the cold front.
