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 builds to the south of the waters today. Southerly channeling could result in brief periods of Small Craft Advisory conditions. A dry cold front will push southward Wednesday into Wednesday night, then stall near or just south of the region on Thursday. Small Craft Advisories may be needed Wednesday night into Thursday. A strong cold front moves across the area Friday, with Gale conditions possible Friday night into Saturday.
