⏰ Daylight Saving Time Begins!
Don’t forget to spring forward this weekend! Clocks move ahead one hour at 2:00 AM on Sunday, which means longer daylight in the evenings and brighter days ahead.
While you’re changing your clocks, it’s also a great time to:
✔️ Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
✔️ Replace batteries if needed
✔️ Test/Replace batteries in your weather radio
✔️ Review your family’s emergency plan
Losing an hour of sleep can be tough, so consider heading to bed a little earlier Saturday night. Stay safe, stay prepared, and enjoy the extra daylight! 🌞
SPRING FORWARD!
Just a quick reminder that Daylight Saving Time begins at 2:00am Sunday. Remember to set your clocks forward one hour (if they don't do it automatically) and take a few minutes to check your smoke detector batteries.

⚠️ Black ice is one of the most dangerous winter hazards because you often can’t see it. It forms when moisture freezes on roads, bridges, sidewalks, and shaded areas—making surfaces look just wet when they’re actually icy.
Stay safe and stay aware of changing road conditions while temperatures drop below freezing overnight. The best practice is to stay at home and off the roads if at all possible.
Temperatures will drop tonight (Sunday, 1/25/2026) and remain cold through Tuesday (1/27/2026) morning - which means road conditions could change quickly across Madison County.
Some roads may dry, but others could freeze overnight and create black ice. Use extra caution on bridges, overpasses, shaded areas and rural roads - these freeze first and stay slick the longest!
The City of Huntsville and municipal offices will delay opening until 10 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 26, due to impacts from this weekend’s winter weather event and potential hazardous road conditions.
