&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
CURRENT ANALYSIS INDICATING STRONG SFC LOW PRESSURE ~993 MB OVER

THE FRONT BUT THE DURATION SHOULD BE TOO SHORT TO WARRANT AN

THE FRONT MOVES SOUTH...EXTENDED CHC POPS ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY
EVENING WITH LIKELY POPS ON THE LOWER EASTERN SHORE. PCPN ENDS FROM

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
STRONG NW WNDS DEVELOPING LATER TONIGHT WILL RESULT IN SHARP
DECREASE (INCREASING MAGNITUDE OF NEGATIVE TIDAL DEPARTURES/BLOW-
OUT TIDES). HOWEVER...STRONGEST SURGE OF WIND OCCURS FROM 06-12Z
AND THIS GENLY LOOKS TO COINCIDE WITH HIGH TIDE FOR OCEAN SITES
AND THE LOWER BAY. THUS...EVEN WITH -1.5 TO 2 FT NEGATIVE
DEPARTURES...A LOW WATER ADSY WILL NOT BE NEEDED UNLESS THESE
DEPARTURES PERSIST THROUGH THE LATE MORNING LOW TIDE CYCLE.
SURGE GUIDANCE AND VIMS DATA OVERALL SHOWS THE DEPARTURES
DIMINISHING BY THAT TIME. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...BUT MOST DATA
SUGGESTS THE BEST CHC FOR A LOW WATER ADSY WOULD NOT BE UNTIL MON
