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 cold front will remains stalled near the Carolina coast to finish the weekend. A stronger cold front should cross the waters early Monday before Canadian high pressure settles over the region through mid-week. This area of high pressure drops to the south ahead of another frontal system. Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed midday Monday into Tuesday morning.
