The southeastern U.S. coast was bracing for heavy rain Saturday with Tropical Storm Ana, the first named storm of the 2015 Atlantic hurricane season, heading for North and South Carolina.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami predicted Ana would be "very near" the coasts of the two states by Sunday morning.
Forecasters warned beachgoers that the storm could bring dangerous rip currents and advised people to stay out of the water.
Tropical storm warnings were in place from South Santee River in South Carolina to Cape Lookout in North Carolina.
The current Ana was initially labeled a "subtropical storm." That means it had characteristics of both a tropical storm, which forms over warm waters, and a traditional storm system resulting from the temperature contrast between warm and cold air masses.
