Atlantic Coastal Waters from Fenwick Island DE to Currituck Beach
Light NC out 20 nautical miles

.Synopsis for Fenwick Island DE to Currituck Beach Light NC out 20
nautical miles including Virginia portion of the Chesapeake Bay,
Currituck Sound and portions of the James, York, and Rappahannock
Rivers...

High pressure over the western Atlantic will allow for winds to
become more southerly today. A backdoor cold front is expected to
move southward across the mid-Atlantic on Saturday before
weakening and becoming diffuse on Sunday. This should bring about
another wind direction shift to the north and eventually east
through the day on Saturday, and then southeast on Sunday.
