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 brief period of Small Craft Advisory conditions are possible this afternoon into early evening across the northern and middle waters as high pressure builds over the region. Southerly channeling on Monday could also produce Small Craft Advisory conditions. An area of low pressure passes by north of the area during the middle of the week.
