The 13th tropical depression of the Atlantic hurricane season formed far out in the ocean Monday and was posing no immediate threat to land. The depression could strengthen into a tropical storm today, the National Hurricane Center said. Also in the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Leslie was moving north-northwest on a track that could take it closer to Bermuda by Saturday. The storm, carrying winds of close to 60 mph, was causing potentially dangerous surf in parts of the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
