Daylight Saving Time: Spring Ahead Sunday Morning

Daylight saving time officially begins Sunday morning at 2:00 am in most parts of the United States. Remember to set your clocks and watches ahead by one hour before going to bed on Saturday night. It’s also a great time to check the batteries in smoke alarms.
