The National Hurricane Center's Tropical Weather Outlook for 11:30 EDT today, indicates that there is some interest in the complex system evolving near the Bahamas.
There isn't a clear cut surface low, which would indicate tropical development; but the thunderstorms and turning in the atmosphere are becoming more pronounced.
This is referred to as Invest 94L, the in-and-out sort of disturbance which has been working its way north out of the Caribbean. It isn't purely tropical, as it consists of wave energy being drawn up around the upper low that is has hooked around Southern Florida.
Convection triggered on the flank of the low, the northward moving wave energy, and low level convergence from the easterly flow around the ridge to the north are keeping it an active, stormy area.
This area has a chance to develop. The National Hurricane Center has a tentative hurricane hunter reconnaissance aircraft flight scheduled for off the North Florida and Georgia coasts tomorrow.
Since the system is complex and of hybrid nature, will be hesitant to classify it, so the chances of seeing a named system aren't what I'd call high. Nevertheless the weather along the North Florida, Georgia, and Carolina coasts should be rainy and breezy as the system approaches Saturday and Sunday. Given more time, perhaps three days I'd almost guarantee a named tropical system, but it doesn't have that long.
Elsewhere a small disturbance continues in the Western Caribbean, in a marginal development environment. The conditions there should improve as the upper trough begins to lift out and back away to the north. With a tropical wave moving through there is at least a passing interest for this area.
This disturbed weather should continue west and northwest and may be of interest in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico over the weekend. However, what forecast model support that did exist for it becoming active has become more attuned to Eastern Pacific development. It will also be close to or over land at times. Keep an eye on it anyway.

Question: as that area of disturbed weather makes it's way towards N. Florida/S. Georgia, will the rain become heavier here in central Florida (inland) as it makes it's way there or will it stay a little drier? We're not getting much right now, just wondering if that will change. Also, is there any possiblility that it could make it inland further south in Florida?

The way it looks right now, most of the moisture is off the coast and to the south of Cent. Fl. As the ULL keeps pinwheeling n/nw it will draw more of that moisture towards Fl. and produce showers. Eventually though it will move far enough north to where the showers aren't affecting Fl. as much, probably starting on Sunday.
Edit-The 2pm Trop. Disc. answered your question about the rain Colleen:
"THE UPPER TROF IS CURRENTLY SPREADING DRY AIR IN FROM THE W OVER S FLORIDA AND THE NW BAHAMAS WHICH HAS KEPT THE HEAVIEST TSTMS MAINLY TO THE E OVER OPEN WATERS. THIS AREA OF HEAVY RAIN/TSTMS WILL APPROACH AND SPREAD OVER THE SOUTHEAST U.S. COAST LATER TONIGHT AND ON SAT...AND THEN A SECOND SURGE OF MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE FROM THE BAHAMAS TO S/CNTRL FLORIDA ON SUN AND MON AS THE UPPER TROF LIFTS N."
-------------------- Check the Surf

This is just before the info about the rain you posted...seems this is more noteworthy (from the 205pm TWD):
THERE APPEAR TO BE
SEVERAL LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTERS EMBEDDED WITHIN THE CLOUD
MASS AND SEVERAL OF THE NUMERICAL MODELS...ESPECIALLY THE
AND CANADIAN...CONSOLIDATE THESE INTO A SFC LOW NEAR THE CENTRAL
BAHAMAS AND MOVE IT NW TOWARDS THE GEORGIA/SOUTH CAROLINA COAST
WITHIN THE NEXT 48 HRS. GIVEN THE CURRENT CLOUD PATTERN AND
RECENT TRENDS IN SURFACE OBSERVATIONS...
TROPICAL CYCLONE
DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE WITHIN THE NEXT 36 HRS IN THE VICINITY
FROM THE NRN BAHAMAS TO THE SOUTHEAST U.S.

Satellite pics and radar suggest one of the surface lows may be developing right along the Florida East Coast near Melbourne Wind direction on the west coast from the NNE and light may also be an indicator of such a forming low.
If so it is much closer to the coast than anticipated.

Right, it looks to be just north of Mel, E of Cocoa. Several new cells popping up also over the last 20-30 min's

THIS IS A VERY COMPLEX FEATURE, AS THERE IS CLEARLY A CIRCULATION, BROADER AND SOUTH OVER THE PENINSULA WHICH THE SAT PICS SUGGEST IS AN UPPER AIR FEATURE THAT IS ALSO AFFECTING THE FLOW. HOWEVER THE SUGGESTION OF A LOW FORMING ON THE EAST COAST NEAR MELBOURNE SEEMS TO BE SUPPORTED BY MORE RADAR EVIDENCE NOW THAN AN HOUR AGO.

These are the June or earlier "B" named storms occuring since the naming of storms began.
Here all all "Second storm of the season" tracks, which would have been "B" storms since 1851:
