AAA warns of a hidden danger of Daylight Saving Time
SUMMARY: As Daylight Saving Time begins on March 9, people lose an hour of sleep, which can significantly affect health and driving safety. The American Red Cross advises changing smoke alarm batteries during this time. AAA highlights the increased risk of drowsy driving, reporting a 6% rise in fatal crashes after the time change. Drivers may experience symptoms similar to jet lag, leading to decreased alertness and slower reaction times. A AAA survey indicates 96% of drivers recognize drowsy driving as dangerous, yet 20% admit to doing it. Staying alert and avoiding drowsy driving is crucial for safety and legal liability.

Dreaming of Fall? Here’s what the season may hold
SUMMARY: The CSRA’s fall outlook shows typical September highs around 91°F with 3.6″ rain, cooling through November to highs near 65°F and lows near 39°F. Currently in an ENSO-neutral phase, a weak La Niña may develop late fall, slightly influencing weather. The Climate Prediction Center favors a 40-50% chance of warmer-than-average temperatures from September to November. Precipitation forecasts are uncertain: southern counties may see wetter conditions, but rainfall heavily depends on the Atlantic hurricane season. The European model supports warmer, drier conditions due to high pressure. Overall, expect a warmer fall with variable rainfall influenced by tropical activity.
