.SYNOPSIS FOR THE TIDAL POTOMAC AND MD PORTION OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY...
A coastal storm will develop through tonight, then move up and off
the coast Sunday. Gale conditions are expected tonight through
Sunday evening, with some storm-force gusts not out of the question
toward the middle Chesapeake Bay. Small Craft Advisories will then
likely continue into Monday as low pressure moves away. High
pressure will build across the area Monday into Tuesday, then a
clipper-type low will likely pass south of the area Wednesday.
