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 build in from the central U.S. through tonight, then linger into the middle of the week as low pressure meanders off the Mid-Atalantic coast. Additional Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed at times from through much of next week. Marginal gale force gusts are also possible at times on the wider waters of the middle Chesapeake Bay.
