Latest Marine Discussion:

.MARINE... It appears earlier storms have stabilized the atmosphere, so portions of the existing Small Craft Advisory may be cancelled early. Some continuation of advisory conditions is expected into the day on the wider mid-bay waters. Additional strong to perhaps severe thunderstorms may develop ahead of a cold front this afternoon and evening across mainly southern Maryland. A pressure surge and accompanying shift to northerly winds will push across the waters this evening. Small Craft Advisories have been issued for tonight into Thursday morning along the bay. Thereafter, sub-SCA level winds are expected Thursday afternoon through Sunday. Winds will generally be out of the north on Thursday, east on Friday, and southeast on Saturday and Sunday. Update as of: 357 AM EDT Wed Jul 22 2026
