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 continues to strengthen while moving further offshore today into Monday limiting small craft conditions. Small Craft Advisories return Monday and Tuesday as channeling ensues ahead of an incoming cold front midweek. This front will bring renewed chances for widespread showers and thunderstorms to all waters Wednesday afternoon. Additional showers are possible Thursday into the upcoming weekend. Small Craft Advisories may be needed at times for portions of the waters Wednesday through Friday.
