.SYNOPSIS FOR THE TIDAL POTOMAC AND MD PORTION OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CAROLINAS WILL DRIFT OFFSHORE THROUGH
SATURDAY AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES FROM THE UPPER GREAT LAKES TO
NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL SEND A TRAILING
COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY. THE FRONT WILL DROP FURTHER SOUTH THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT
WEEK, LIKELY REACHING AS FAR SOUTH AS FLORIDA BY TUESDAY NIGHT AS
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTHEAST. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED SATURDAY IN WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF
THE COLD FRONT, THEN IN NORTHEAST TO EAST FLOW MONDAY BEHIND IT.
