.MARINE... An SMW or two cannot be ruled out through the remainder of this evening and overnight as showers and thunderstorms try to make their way across the Tidal Potomac and parts of the central Chesapeake Bay. Additional SMWs may be needed for portions of the waters Tuesday as the cold front passes through. Highest probability for storms Tuesday will be south of the Bay Bridge. Favorable marine conditions are forecast to end the week (Wednesday through Friday) as high pressure over the area moves offshore. An active weather pattern returns sometime Friday into next weekend with multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms possible. Update as of: 902 PM EDT Mon Jun 9 2025
