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

A large area of high pressure will influence the area through
tonight. As this dome of high pressure weakens a bit, a frontal
boundary settles just off to the north by mid-week. This stalled
boundary meanders nearby through Friday before lifting toward New
England as a warm front.
