Southerly channeling expected this afternoon into this evening.
Winds of 25 to 35 knots out of the south a few thousand feet
above the surface will likely be drawn toward the surface by
subsidence over the cooler waterways due to developing bay/river
breezes since the land/water temp difference will be 20+ deg F
this afternoon. This downward transport and enhancement from the
channeling and bay/river breeze should overcome shallow
stability and could even result in a few gusts near gale force
early this evening over the main channel of the Chesapeake Bay.
Enhanced southerly flow will continue through the day Sunday for
at least part of the waters, with southeast flow possibly
nearing SCA levels Monday.
Otherwise, multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are
anticipated over the next few days, resulting in the potential
for hazardous winds, waves, lightning, and reduced visibility in
heavy rain at times.
Winds remain below Small Craft Advisory criteria both Tuesday and
Wednesday. Southwest winds on Tuesday shift to northwest on
Wednesday.
Update as of: 1030 AM EDT Sat May 3 2025
