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 move offshore tonight. A warm front approaches on Friday but will be overtaken by a cold front Friday night. This front will stall overhead as low pressure tracks along it on Saturday. A pair of cold fronts will push through Saturday night into Sunday. Small Craft Advisories may be needed for portions of the waters Friday afternoon and evening and Saturday afternoon and evening. Small Craft Advisories are likely Sunday into Monday with localized gale force gusts possible.
