.SYNOPSIS FOR THE TIDAL POTOMAC AND MD PORTION OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY...
A strong area of high pressure will remain in place to our north
through the remainder of the week leading to a prolonged period of
onshore flow. A strong coastal low will then develop in the Atlantic
Thursday and intensify as it lifts northward into this weekend.
Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed for much of the Friday
through Saturday time period, and a few low-end gale gusts can't be
ruled out.
