.Synopsis for Fenwick Island DE to Currituck Beach Light NC out 60
nautical miles including Virginia portion of the Chesapeake Bay,
Currituck Sound and portions of the James, York, and Rappahannock
Rivers...
Strong north to northwesterly flow will prevail through early
Saturday, as high pressure builds across eastern Canada and a
developing nor'easter lifts offshore of the mid-Atlantic coast.
Gale force gusts are expected to continue across much of the
coastal waters into Saturday over the Chesapeake Bay, and through
at least Saturday evening over the coastal waters. Storm Warnings
are in effect for the offshore waters north of Cape Charles Light
and for the nearshore waters north of Parramore Island through
midday Saturday. Conditions gradually improve late today and
tonight, continuing through early next week as the weakening low
pulls away from the mid-Atlantic region.
