... Coastal Flood Watch in effect from 6 PM EST this evening
through Saturday afternoon...
The National Weather Service in Baltimore MD/Washington has
issued a coastal Flood Watch... which is in effect from 6 PM EST
this evening through Saturday afternoon.
Strong easterly winds will develop tonight and persist through the
day Saturday. These winds will hinder the normal tidal cycle from
emptying into the ocean as normal. The higher than normal
tides... the approaching new moon... and high water levels in the
Potomac that will develop as the result of heavy rain and snowmelt
will cause the potential for coastal flooding after midnight tonight
and Saturday.
Much of the upper Potomac River is expected to be in flood from
Saturday through Monday. The fresh water coming downstream will
likely add to the coastal flood threat for Washington DC and
Alexandria through at least Monday.
Emergency managers and people with interest on the Potomac River
and the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay should begin to
prepare for potential coastal flooding.
Here are the times of the next high tides
for a few locations from north to south...
on the Chesapeake Bay...
