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 trough of low pressure lingers today. A coastal low tracks off the Carolinas on Saturday before high pressure builds to the southwest to finish the weekend. Another frontal system approaches from the west by early next week. Small Craft Advisories may be needed tonight, Saturday night into Sunday, and Monday through Tuesday.
