Washington. This is the one.
Here's what's coming. A ridge of high pressure is settling over the Mid-Atlantic right now, and once it takes hold, it doesn't let go easily.

One more thing if you're heading out on the water. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect through tomorrow morning at ten.

The through-line here is simple. Today is a gift.
