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 to the north before another frontal system approaches from the west by the middle of the week. A trough of low pressure lingers through Friday. Small Craft Advisories are likely needed Wednesday afternoon due to increasing southeasterly winds. Hazardous marine conditions likely persist through the late week timeframe.
