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

A warm front will lift north into the region today before stalling
out in the vicinity of the waters Tuesday and Wednesday. A cold
front will approach the waters from the west Thursday before washing
 out later this week and into the weekend. Daily afternoon showers
and thunderstorms return to the forecast for most of the upcoming
week. Small Craft Advisories may be required from Wednesday
afternoon through Wednesday night, again during parts of Thursday.
This due to an enhanced period of southerly channeling effects.
