Coastal Waters Forecast
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
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. High pressure will continue offshore through this evening ahead of an area of low pressure set to pass to our north late tonight into Saturday. Gusty southwest winds ahead of an approaching cold front are expected through early evening. A much stronger low pressure system will approach the area Sunday. Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed Sunday through Tuesday as a result, with gales possible Sunday night and Tuesday for portions of the waters.
