March was supposed to bring an early spring.

Austin dodged forecasted snow and rain yesterday, but that may not be the norm in coming days.

Aside from Saturday, rain and snow are forecast every day through Thursday. The National Weather Service is watching a significant winter storm for Tuesday into Wednesday; however, it’s too early to track the storm’s path or predict potential precipitation totals.

Light snow and freezing drizzle will move across the area tonight, and light icing may occur, especially into Iowa.
