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 from the northwest this afternoon and eventually pass to the southeast by early Saturday. High pressure will build north of the area this weekend. There is the potential for some gusty thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening today, which may necessitate Special Marine Warnings.
