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. Could have a few gusts near Small Craft Advisory levels this afternoon in northerly channeling. Otherwise, winds become northeasterly Monday before becoming southerly Tuesday, but remain below Small Craft Levels. Small Craft winds possible Wednesday into Thursday ahead of a cold front.
