.MARINE... A warm front will push through the region today, and will result in a slight increase in winds this morning, as well as a directional change out of the SW. Additionally, some light rain is expected over the waters during this time as well. No marine hazards are expected however, as winds stay AOB 15 knots at best. A cold front will then push through later in the afternoon, which will bring a push of stronger winds through tonight and into the first half of Monday. SCAs are in effect for these northwest winds over the open Bay. A low pressure system will pass east of the area Tuesday into Tuesday night. This is likely to bring SCA conditions across all the waters, with near-gale force gusts possible in the open waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Brisk northwesterly winds will favor advisory-caliber winds for the first half of Wednesday. Winds drop off as high pressure builds in. A progressive cold front moves across the waters on Thursday which may support gusts up to around 20 knots or so. Update as of: 407 AM EST Sun Nov 30 2025
