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 will briefly build across the Mid-Atlantic through tonight. A pair of powerful Arctic fronts will approach the area Friday, then cross the region Friday night. These fronts will result in some light snow or snow showers and very strong winds of gale- to near storm-force. The strongest winds are expected to start abruptly just before daybreak Saturday and persist until roughly midday. The wind and very cold temperatures will also result in heavy freezing spray over ice-free waters. Winds will gradually diminish as high pressure returns Sunday into Monday.
