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 stall over the area through tonight, then lift back northward Friday into Saturday. A stronger front will push across the area Sunday. Small Craft Advisories may need to be expanded for this evening, and will likely be needed Friday into Friday night, and again most of the time Saturday afternoon through Monday morning.
