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. A cold front will approach early this morning with a line of heavy, gusty showers possible. After a brief lull behind this line, strong post-frontal winds are expected this afternoon into the evening as well. Gales are expected, with the strongest winds most likely north of North Beach MD and in the upper tidal Potomac River. A brief break in winds is expected for the first half of Saturday, but strong southerly winds Saturday night will likely necessitate Small Craft Advisories once again. More Small Craft Advisories are likely Sunday in northwest flow. Additional Small Craft Advisories may be needed Tuesday as the next frontal system approaches.
