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 slow moving cold front will cross the waters late tonight. This will allow for winds to shift to a west and southwest direction to the northwest. North to northwesterly winds Friday will shift back to the south and southeast Saturday and west to southwest Sunday. Expect some Small Craft Advisory level channeling this upcoming weekend, mainly over the open waters.
