...BLOWOUT TIDES CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT...

Continued northwesterly winds have kept water levels lower than
normal. In particular, most locations across the tidal Potomac and
western shores of the Chesapeake Bay are reporting water levels
around 1 to 1.5 feet below mean lower low water. Some rebound is
expected tonight for some sites, but some areas won't improve
until Thursday morning or afternoon.

Mariners should check navigation charts and be careful not to
ground your vessel, particularly when boating away from the main
channel.
