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 stall near the area this weekend as a wave of low pressure passes to the south. A second cold front will cross the area Monday. High pressure will follow through the middle of next week. Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed Monday into Tuesday.
