.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 much of the week leading to a prolonged period of onshore
flow. A strong coastal low will then develop in the Atlantic toward
the end of the week. Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed
for much of the Thursday through Saturday time period, and a few
low- end Gale gusts can't be ruled out.
