Austin weather: Cooler than average for the start of spring

Austin weather: Cool Tuesday, rain later this week

The first day of spring is going to be cooler than average, but there are changes ahead. Zack Shields shows us when the warm-up begins and we could see some rain.

AUSTIN, Texas - The countdown is on! Spring officially arrives this evening.

It won't feel like it as the chilly streak rolls on but at least we will see on-and-off sun today.

The weather will be clouding up and not as cold tonight with lows in the 50s.

Rain is looking more and more likely with the next system on Thursday.

We will look at the timing, future rain totals and severe risk coming up on FOX 7 Good Day Austin.
