"The band of extremely heavy rain in southwestern Florida is forecast to move across the state on Saturday as the whole system migrates east," Norcross said. "Some areas on the southeastern coast will get a break for a while, but more heavy rain will likely move through later." "By Saturday evening, the significant weather should be past the state," said Norcross. "It will take until tomorrow to clear the Bahamas."The storm will track well off the southeastern U.S. coast on Sunday. Most of the rain should remain offshore, but gusty winds could spawn high surf andIt is while the system is offshore that it could organize into the first named storm of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season.
