Community Reacts to Daylight Saving Time
WACO, Texas (FOX 44) — Time sprang forward Sunday for Daylight Saving Time, resulting in an hour less of sleep. This annual time change has been around for generations, and for some people, it still takes some time to adjust.
According to sleepfoundation.org, Daylight Saving Time changes how much sunlight we get in a day. This change can mess with a person's sleep schedule, affecting how alert they are in the morning and how sleepy at night.
While some despise Daylight Saving Time, others enjoy the long hours of daylight and use it to take advantage of the day.
Rachel Moore, with the Waco McLennan County Library, enjoys it, 'I was a little bit more sleepy this morning,' Moore said, acknowledging how the time change impacted her body. 'But it's really nice because it's super sunny and beautiful today. And so, I feel like maybe we got a little lucky with the daylight saving.'
Carolina Herrera also enjoys the extra hours of sun, however, her son does not, 'My son was a little sleepy this morning and didn't really want to wake up. But I think being out in the sunlight in the daytime really helps regulate his sleep schedule, too.'
Herrera hopes that by bringing her son outside more while the sun is out, it will help him adjust to a different night schedule and get more sleep during the time change.
According to healthychildren.org, setting a night routine, whether new or adjusted, can help younger children become more acquainted with Daylight Saving Time more quickly and easier.

Shift in the Jet Stream
After waves of severe storms and heavy rainfall this month, the Jet Stream is shifting after the latest rounds of storms moved out of our State last night. Going forward, at least for now, the Jet Stream is de-energized some. A 'weakness' in the flow, kind of an 'echo' of storms Monday and Tuesday of this week in Texas will move up over our State Wednesday and Thursday. There is a chance of rain and a few storms but rainfall totals will not be nearly as heavy. Mike June 9th, 2025 Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Storm Team 3: More storms likely Tuesday, isolated severe storms possible
The Coastal Empire and Lowcountry will remain in an unsettled weather pattern for much of the new workweek. Scattered showers and storms are likely Tuesday with a chance that there may be a few strong to severe storms. Tuesday will begin with a few passing showers or storms after sunrise with coverage of rain increasing through the morning. Thunderstorms will become more widespread around noon and after. Rain and storm chances will remain elevated into the evening. Heavy rain at times will be an issue, especially during the afternoon commute. Some stronger storm cells may be able to drop a quick 1-2″ of rain. While most storms will not be severe, any of the strong or severe storms will be able to produce damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 mph and small hail. Afternoon highs will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s which will provide ample fuel to produce a few severe storms. Rain chances will gradually decrease through Tuesday evening with temperatures cooling into the low to mid 70s. Wednesday and into the weekend will feature more scattered rain and storms with afternoon highs reaching the upper 80s to lower 90s each day.
