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. Canadian high pressure settles over the region through mid-week yielding light and variable winds. This area of high pressure drops to the south ahead of another frontal system that approaches over the weekend. Small Craft Advisory conditions are possible across portions of the waters Wednesday evening.
