.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 overnight into Friday. 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.
