that develop over the waters later tonight, and again Wed into

rough seas. Otherwise, high pressure will persist E of the area
tonight into Sun night while maintaining a ridge westward into
the region. A cold front will approach from the NW Wed into early
Thu, move slowly SE over the waters N of the area later Thu into
Fri, and then stall N of the waters Fri night. The front will
remain N of the waters Sat through Sun night as weak low pressure
areas move E along the front. Chesapeake NAVTEX remains
