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. High pressure will gradually build toward the waters from the west through Tuesday, before shifting offshore by mid-week. A cold front is expected to cross the area by late Thursday night. High pressure eventually approaches from the Great Lakes by late in the week. Winds may near low-end Small Craft Advisory levels in southerly flow on Wednesday afternoon into the night, possibly again during parts of Thursday.
