Tuesday's forecast: March goes out like a lamb for most

The last day of March will end on a quiet note for much of the country, with only a couple of minor trouble spots.

East: Some accumulating snow is likely from the Great Lakes to interior portions of the Northeast, while some light rain pelts the Mid-Atlantic. A few showers are also possible in the Mid-South and the Southeast.

West: Most of the western half of the nation will be clear and warm on Tuesday. Some rain and show is forecast in the Northwest, while some afternoon showers are likely in northern Texas and New Mexico.

Weather history for March 31: In 1954, Rio Grande City, Texas, soared to 108 degrees, the USA's highest March temperature on record. In 2008, tornadoes hit both Missouri and Oklahoma.
