It hasn't been likely, but the odds spiked up to 50% yesterday based on the fed funds futures market:

It can change quickly, though, based on economic data, the markets, comments from Fed members, etc.

Interesting article today http://seekingalpha.com/article/4056847-fed-weathervane
Haven't seen much discussion about the March 15 announcement to raise rate by .25 points with 2 more expected this year.
