.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 today. 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.
