Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday at 2 a.m. and continues every second Sunday in March through the first Sunday in November. What does this mean for us? We will "spring forward," meaning our clocks will go forward one hour. This time around, we will lose one hour of sleep, but it also means we will have later sunrise and sunset times here in Chicago. On March 9, Chicago's sunrise time will be 7:11 a.m., and sunset time will be 6:50 p.m. The first 7 p.m. sunset will arrive on March 18. March 1 was the start of Meteorological Spring, but astronomical spring this year occurs on March 20. March stats consist of average high temperature in the low 40s at the start of the month to low 50s by the end of the month. Lows are from the middle 20s to middle 30s. Average rainfall is around 2.5 inches with average snowfall consisting of 5.5 inches.

Picture perfect, early March day tomorrow
The Latest from Storm Team 5… Happy First Day of Meteorological Spring! It did not feel like it out there today, with temperatures only managing the middle twenties for much of the area, and only reaching the teens in the Northwoods. For tonight, skies will remain clear, and any bit of wind from earlier will ease to under 10mph. Lows tonight will be cold once again, dropping into single digits and teens. Wind chills should hover around the air temperature, bit any bit of wind will knock the wind chills down below zero for a brief time. Tomorrow will be the pick day of the weekend. Light winds, sunshine, and temperatures warming into the low to mid 30s on the backside of high pressure. Overnight though, the clouds will build in and will keep temperatures on the warmer side in the teens and 20s. Most of the day on Monday will be cloudy, and temperatures soar into the mid 40s. A weak disturbance will spark some scattered showers Monday evening around dinner time. A stronger storm is expected to move off the Rockies early in the week and deepen into a formidable storm. Right now, I am expecting rain showers to start impacting the area in the afternoon Tuesday, and the winds will really pick up as well. Highs still in the lower to middle 40s. Rain showers will continue overnight and into early Wednesday morning, but as the cold air wraps into the center of the low, this will likely switch over to snow showers. Highs on Wednesday will be around 40, but that will be a midnight high. Expect temperatures to fall throughout the day. A quieter end to the week is expected, just have to watch a system passing to our south that might bring an isolated flurry for the area Friday morning. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Sunny start to Meteorological Spring in North Texas, storm threat ahead
March 1 marks the start of Meteorological Spring — and the weekend is delivering. North Texas is enjoying lots of sunshine Saturday, with temperatures climbing into the upper 70s. Some areas out to the west could even see temperatures in the 80s. A disturbance is headed toward the region tomorrow, increasing cloud cover as the afternoon approaches. The area is on the tail end of the system tracking through Oklahoma on Sunday, which could bring showers and a few storms to western counties. While severe weather is not expected, lightning and brief heavy rain are possible. Some showers may hold together as they head east into Dallas-Fort Worth on Sunday evening. The stronger system of more concern moves in late Monday into Tuesday. A First Alert Weather Day has been issued for Tuesday due to the threat of strong to severe storms. Large hail and damaging winds are the main threats, but an isolated tornado can't be ruled out. The current forecast shows storms moving into western counties late Monday night and tracking east through North Texas into Tuesday. The Storm Prediction Center highlights areas along and east of I-35 for the potential of severe storms, with the greatest risk to Arkansas and Louisiana. Strong winds will develop behind the system on Tuesday afternoon. A Wind Advisory is likely and depending on rainfall totals, areas west of I-35 may see a critical fire threat. Please stay with the First Alert Weather Team for updates ahead of Tuesday. In the meantime, enjoy a great start to March. Keep in mind the pollen count is high when soaking up the sunshine.
