DETROIT – Welcome to Saturday night, Motown.
We “Spring Forward” one hour overnight Saturday as it becomes colder under fair skies. Sunday will be chilly with more sunshine -- but remember, it’s still winter. Mother Nature will throw a wintry mix our way early next week.
We move our clocks forward one hour before going to bed Saturday night for the start of Daylight Saving Time. Also, it is important to change all batteries in all alarms, including smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.
