A frontal boundary south of the waters will move back north this morning. Meanwhile, an area of low pressure over the Great Lakes will move northeast into northern New England by this evening. The associated cold front will pass across the waters tonight, with an area of strong high pressure building in behind it. Additionally, most model guidance shows the potential for a coastal low to develop along the cold front. This low has the potential to linger off the Southeast coast well into next week, resulting in a prolong period of elevated winds and seas. Gale Warnings have been issued for a large portion of the local waters to account for the first part of the surge through Sunday night. $$ ANZ630-170315- Chesapeake Bay from Smith Point to Windmill Point VA- 1002 AM EDT Fri Oct 16 2026 ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM EDT THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING... ...GALE WARNING IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING... .REST OF TODAY...SW winds 10 to 15 kt with gusts up to 20 kt.
