This New Mobile Alert App Warns Texans of Extreme Weather

Spring is coming up fast, March 20th. In Texas, that means the weather will be perfect one minute, then intensely not the next. Whether you live in the Panhandle, Houston, TX, or anywhere else in the Lone Star State, there's now an app that can keep you informed.

We hate Daylight Saving, everyone does. But at least this Sunday it's the better of the two -- we'll be springing forward one hour. Sure, we lose an hour of sleep but we'll also have an hour more of sunlight at night. Maybe this year we can set it and forget it.
