MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT TAKING THE SURFACE LOW OVER SOUTHEAST GA AND MOVING IT UP THE COAST. THIS WILL KEEP A NORTHEAST SURFACE FLOW OVER THE CWA THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. CURRENT CONVECTION OVER THE CWA WILL DISSIPATE THIS EVENING. THERE COULD BE AN ISOLATED SHOWER/TSTORM JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE TONIGHT AND WILL MAINTAIN A 20 POP ACROSS MOST OF THE CWA. A LITTLE HIGHER POPS ACROSS THE EXTREME SOUTHEAST PART OF THE CWA TONIGHT DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE SURFACE LOW.
