Westborough Begins Parking Ban As Nor'easter Approaches

WESTBOROUGH, MA — A parking ban will start in Westborough Monday night and with a potentially severe snowstorm in the forecast.

The town-wide parking ban begins at 8 p.m. and will lift when the storm passes. The ban means no parking is allowed on any public street in Westborough.

According to current forecasts, Westborough could see very high snow totals ranging from 12 to 18 inches. However, forecasters are uncertain about how long the storm will last in the area, which means totals could of course be much lower.

"Powerful coastal storm will bring several impacts late tonight thru early Wed. Greatest impacts are wet snow weighing on trees & powerlines & damaging wind gusts," the National Weather Service said in a tweet Monday.

The storm will begin as a rain before turning to snow sometime early Tuesday morning. If current forecasts hold, snow could throughout the day Tuesday, including during the morning and evening rush hours.
