shift slowly westward on Monday, crossing our local waters on
Monday night. Showers and thunderstorms over the Georgia waters
early this evening will diminish before midnight, with activity on
Monday mainly confined to the offshore waters. Showers and
thunderstorms will then increase in coverage on Tuesday and

organizing later in the week near the northern Gulf coast.
Prevailing northeasterly winds on Monday will shift to southerly

south-southeasterly winds briefly strengthening to Caution levels
near shore on Wednesday afternoon. Rounds of showers and
thunderstorms will continue through late in the week as southerly
