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 through Monday Night. There is a chance that there could be storm force wind gusts, especailly Monday into Monday night over the coastal waters. $$ ANZ630-170715- Chesapeake Bay from Smith Point to Windmill Point VA- 237 PM EDT Fri Oct 16 2026 ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING... ...GALE WARNING IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING... .THROUGH 7 PM...S winds 10 to 15 kt with gusts up to 20 kt.
