Belen De Leon is the NBC4 Today in LA meteorologist weekdays 4:00 to 7:00 a.m. She is part of the award-winning weather team that has earned Most Accurate Weather Team in Southern California by WeatheRate for six consecutive years.
De Leon's versatility and passion for weather and local news led her into broadcast television more than 10 years ago. She began as a host of a variety entertainment television show then transitioned to radio and news at KNVO-TV in South Texas.
While in Texas from 2007-2011, she reported the weather in English and Spanish, including coverage of Hurricane Dolly in 2008.
