The greatest risk with this storm will be heavy rainfall. The heaviest rain will occur offshore, according to AccuWeather's forecast. However, some rain is expected to hit much of Florida, Georgia's eastern coast, eastern South Carolina, and eastern North Carolina.

Radar and satellite show a circulation trying to spin up offshore of North Florida. An old cold front has sagged into the area and become the main trigger for a potential tropical system to develop. This is not an uncommon scenario early in the hurricane season.

A slow-developing weather system is trying to get its act together over the Southeast U.S. this Fourth of July.
