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

High pressure will build from the Great Lakes to the Northeast and
Mid-Atlantic today, then move offshore tonight as a warm front
approaches from the Ohio River Valley. The warm front will lift
across the area Sunday as low pressure moves from the Upper Midwest
to the Great Lakes and southeastern Canada. A trailing cold front
will cross the region Monday, then a secondary dry cold front will
cross the area Tuesday. High pressure will follow for the middle of
the week before another frontal system crosses Thursday into Friday.
 Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed at times from Sunday
afternoon through Tuesday night.
