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 few spotty shower or t-storm is possible heading into early Saturday morning as the front sags south across the waters. Winds will switch from the west to northwest and eventually north Saturday afternoon at less than 15 knots. Marginal small craft conditions return late SUnday evening into Monday due to channeling.
