Change weather radio batteries when springing ahead

Daylight Saving Time begins this Sunday morning, March 13. While moving your clocks ahead one hour and testing your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, also change the batteries in your NOAA Weather Radio receivers.  As spring and summer approach; your NOAA Weather Radio will be ready to provide important warnings of tornadoes, flash floods, dangerous thunderstorms, and emergency messages on behalf of public safety officials.
