FOR THE TIDAL POTOMAC AND MD PORTION OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY.

Tidal Potomac River and Maryland portion of Chesapeake Bay. Forecasts of wave heights do not include effects of wind direction relative to tidal currents. Expect higher waves when winds are blowing against the tidal flow. Waves flat where waters are iced over. A front will remain stalled just to the south through tonight. An area of low pressure approaching from the Midwest will track along this stalled front Friday into Saturday. High pressure will return Sunday into Monday. Small Craft Advisories may be needed Friday night into Saturday.
