A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTH ALONG THE

WLY AOB 15KT TUE EVENING. A MUCH WEAKER WEATHER DISTURBANCE CROSSES
THE WATERS LATE TUE NIGHT INTO WED MORNING AND SHOULD PROVIDE JUST
ENOUGH ONSHORE SWELL TO KEEP SEAS ELEVATED AROUND 5-7FT TUE

4 TO 5 FT WED NIGHT THROUGH THU UNTIL A MODIFIED ARCTIC HIGH

THRESHOLDS FOR THE BAY/SOUND/LOWER JAMES RIVER...HOWEVER SEAS COULD
BUMP BACK UP TO 5FT DURING THE SURGE. HIGH PRESSURE FINALLY
