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 drift offshore through mid week shifting winds to the south. Winds may briefly increase to near Small Craft Advisory levels early Wednesday, but are more likely to reach such levels Wednesday afternoon and night. Gusty winds could continue through Thursday as winds shift to the west and northwest as a cold front crosses. Lighter winds are currently expected on Friday.
