Friday...

A coastal Flood Warning remains in effect until 11 PM EST Friday.

With high pressure to our north and low pressure to our south...
a strong and persistent northeast flow is expected over the mid
Atlantic region into the weekend. As a result... tidal departures
will continue to increase. Widespread minor tidal flooding is
expected around the times of high tide through tonight... with
spotty moderate flooding tonight and more widespread moderate
flooding Friday.

The strong onshore flow will not allow water to drain from the
Chesapeake Bay. Each oncoming tide cycle will see higher tide
levels through Friday.

For Cambridge Maryland... high tide occurs at 1221 am with a
forecast height around 3.5 feet MLLW. For Friday afternoon... the
high tide is at 115 PM with a forecast height of 3.5 to 4 feet
MLLW.

Conditions are forecast to improve gradually over the weekend.
