But It's Spring! Belmont Under Another Winter Storm Warning

Today, Monday, March 18, the Belmont High School Spring sports teams will be outside for their first official practice of the season. 

But they'll be indoors Tuesday as a coastal storm will be roaring like a lion the day before Spring officially arrives Wednesday to lay up to a half a foot of wet snow onto Belmont as a reminder that you can never be sure when the season's change in New England. 

The National Weather Service latest weather release at 4:53 a.m. reports that a signficant winter storm will begin late tonight and last for most of the day Tuesday, delivering a period of heavy snow followed by sleet Tuesday morning before turning to freezing rain. The NWS has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Belmont and most of eastern New England.

The latest predictions is for four to eight inches of snow by Tuesday noon. Just how much snow Belmont will receive will be determined by the timing of the transition from all snow to a mix of precipitation.

The storm will be bringing steady winds of 15 mph with gusts up to 40 mph. 

The storm will result in treacherous travel conditions late Monday and into the Tuesday morning commute.
