.MARINE... High pressure around the area has maintained light gradients and thus weaker winds. This continues for the day before this ridge pushes offshore on Monday. A return southerly flow ensues which could cause some southern channeling effects over the wider waters of the Chesapeake Bay. This is particularly the case late Monday afternoon into the evening. A weak cold front pushes across the waters on Tuesday evening with winds shifting from southwesterly to northwesterly thereafter. Winds should stay below advisory thresholds during this time.
