Severe Weather Possible in Belmont In Next Two Days

Belmont could be hit by isolated strong and possibly severe thunderstorms possibly containing large hail, damaging winds as well as heavy downpours, developing this afternoon, Wednesday, May 22, according to the National Weather Service in Taunton. 

The time frame for severe weather is between 2 p.m. and 9 p.m. although thunderstorms may persist through the night. 

And unsteady weather conditions could result in more thunderstorms into Friday morning with the main threat from the storms being strong wind gusts and heavy downpours, said the service.

The NSW advises those with outdoor plans today and tomorrow, Thursday, May 23 in the afternoon and evening, should have a safe place to go if thunderstorms approach such as a vehicle or indoors.

And as the saying goes, if you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning.
