BOSTON (WHDH) - Gov. Maura Healey declared a state of emergency and activated the National Guard Friday ahead of expected impacts from Hurricane Lee this weekend. The storm isn't expected to make landfall in Massachusetts. Still, Lee is forecast to bring wind, rain and storm surge to parts of southern New England beginning overnight and continuing through part of the day Saturday. 'As we've seen in recent weeks, severe weather is not to be taken lightly,' Healey said at a press conference announcing her state of emergency declaration.
