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

Another cold front will push south across the waters this weekend before settling south over the Carolinas by early next week. Special Marine Warnings may be needed for strong to severe thunderstorms through Saturday, but especially this afternoon and evening.
