March Roars In Like A Lion: Get Set For 1-2-3 Punch Of Storms

The light snow that ushered in the first day of March on Friday morning caused slippery travel and delayed school starts.

The next round of snow will be overnight Friday, March 1 into Saturday morning, March 2.

But it was just a preview of coming attractions with three -- yes, three -- more storms expected the next three days.

Did we mention yet that March has come roaring in like a lion?

After a cloudy day Friday with a high temperature in the upper 30s, another round of snow moves in after 1 a.m. Saturday, March 2.

Expect at least 1 to 3 inches of snowfall before the snow tapers off around 10 a.m. Saturday.

Saturday's high temperature will climb to nearly 40 with wind gusts up to 20 miles per hour and a wind-chill factor between 20 and 30.

The second storm of the weekend is expected to arrive late in the afternoon on Sunday, March 3 in the form of rain as the day's high temperature will again be near 40.

Then comes the third -- and strongest storm -- Sunday night into Monday morning, March 4. There is the potential for a significant snowfall from this system, the National Weather Service said in a Hazardous Weather Outlook statement issued early Friday morning.

While the track and strength of the storm are still uncertain, there is the potential for between 3 to 8 inches of accumulation overnight Sunday until late in the morning on Monday.

It's too early to predict more precise accumulation amounts.
