.SYNOPSIS FOR THE TIDAL POTOMAC AND MD PORTION OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY...
A cold front will approach early this morning with a line of heavy,
gusty showers possible. After a brief lull behind this line, strong
post-frontal winds are expected this afternoon into the evening as
well. Gales are expected, with the strongest winds most likely north
of North Beach MD and in the upper tidal Potomac River. A brief
break in winds is expected for the first half of Saturday, but
strong southerly winds Saturday night will likely necessitate Small
Craft Advisories once again. More Small Craft Advisories are likely
Sunday in northwest flow. Additional Small Craft Advisories may be
needed Tuesday as the next frontal system approaches.
