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. Low pressure will linger over southeastern Canada while high pressure builds across the Midwest and Tennessee Valley through Friday. Near gale-force wind gusts are possible in the upper Chesapeake Bay and the tidal Potomac River north of Cobb Island Friday morning to Friday afternoon. High pressure will move overhead Saturday, then move offshore Sunday into early next week as the next systems approach from the west. Additional Small Craft Advisories are possible early next week.
