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 build overhead through Saturday. The remnants of Isaias will approach by Sunday, with Small Craft Advisories likely Saturday night through Sunday. Gale-force winds cannot be ruled out during this time, either. Additional Small Craft Advisories may be needed during portions of Monday behind Isaias.
