.SYNOPSIS FOR THE TIDAL POTOMAC AND MD PORTION OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY...

As a cold front exits to the south, a strong area of high pressure
settles over the region through Tuesday. Eventually a warm front
approaches from the west before passing to the north on Wednesday. A
 cold front nears the area by late in the week. This system briefly
stalls before lifting northward as a warm front. Small Craft
Advisories are possible for portions of the waters Wednesday
afternoon into Wednesday night.
