BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2023 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The National Hurricane Center continues to watch the area marked in yellow on the official map, above. That area of disturbance is expected to form into a tropical depression within days. It’s too soon to know where it may head. Meantime, what was Hurricane Lee is expected to make landfall Saturday, affecting the New England Coast through Canada. Even without a Hurricane designation, the possibility of strong wind and rain remains. TD 15 is not expected to impact South Florida, and Margot remains a non-issue.
