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. It will remain very warm and dry through Saturday as an area of high pressure remains off the southeastern U.S. coast. A cold front late Saturday night will bring the next chance for widespread showers. Small Craft Advisories may be needed at times through Tuesday morning.
