.SYNOPSIS FOR THE TIDAL POTOMAC AND MD PORTION OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY...
High pressure will begin to settle to the south today before a
clipper system tracks across the waters by mid-week. Small Craft
Advisories will likely be needed in response to this clipper system
during the middle to latter portions of the week. Freezing spray
advisories are possible during periods of elevated winds this week.
A coastal storm is also possible this weekend. Should it track close
enough to the eastern seaboard, Gale Warnings would be possible.
