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 build in from the Tennessee River Valley through the middle of the week. A reinforcing cold front will cross the Mid- Atlantic Thursday afternoon and evening. Low pressure will likely track offshore of the Carolinas into the Atlantic Ocean Friday into Saturday, but there is considerable uncertainty as to how far north the low and its associated precipitation gets. A couple of clipper- like systems may affect the area heading into early next week. Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed Thursday afternoon through Thursday night.
