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 remains overhead today before shifting offshore Wednesday. A cold front is expected to cross the area by late Thursday night. High pressure eventually approaches from the Great Lakes by late in the week. Solid SCA conditions are expected in southerly flow on Wednesday afternoon into the night. SCA conditions are possible again on Thursday ahead of the front, but SMWs will also be possible with storms in the afternoon and evening.
