Subtropical Storm Ana, the first named storm of the 2015 hurricane season, formed overnight off the coast of the Carolinas, the National Hurricane Center said.
As of 8:00 a.m. ET, the storm had sustained winds of 45 mph and was located about 170 miles south-southeast of Myrtle Beach, S.C.
The storm will bring rain, wind and rough surf to the Southeast coast through the weekend, AccuWeather predicted.
As much as 2 to 4 inches of rain could fall from the storm over the weekend in eastern sections of the Carolinas, the hurricane center warned. Swells are also likely to cause "life-threatening surf and rip currents," the center said.

What's a subtropical storm?
A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect from Edisto Beach, S.C., to Cape Lookout, N.C., the hurricane center said. This means tropical storm conditions are possible within this area within the next 48 hours.
It's forecast to make landfall in South Carolina on Sunday.
A subtropical storm is a "hybrid" storm, one that has ingredients of both a tropical storm and a regular storm.
