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 frontal boundary stalled off to the south will return northward as a warm front this evening into tonight. Daily shower and thunderstorm chances return to the forecast Wednesday, with gusty winds possible in the strongest thunderstorms especially later this week. Additional Small Craft Advisories may be needed at times late this week due to periods of southerly channeling.
