NOAA All Hazards Radio
Some models have an alarm feature. This feature sounds a tone and turns on the radio when we activate the tone alert from our office. We normally send the Routine Weekly Test message around noon on Wednesdays, unless severe weather is a possibility. The test is done at 7pm on the first Wednesday of each month. If there is a possibility of severe weather, we postpone the test until the next fair weather day, usually Thursday. Please be advised that the streaming service provided here"could" potentially be rendered inoperative due to network outages beyond our control. If this happens your best source of weather information is a battery operated radio capable of receiving the NOAA NWR frequencies and a spare set of fresh batteries. Always error on the side of safety ! Your life could depend upon it! We have now corrected some of the problems preventing us from streaming Sand Mountain NWR and we are now streaming program material from that transmitter.. Thanks for your patience ! PLEASE SELECT YOUR DESIRED NWR STATION IN THE PLAYER BELOW We activate the tone alert for the following watches or warnings:
If the following weather situations evolve quickly, the following warnings or statements may also be "toned".
Newer weather radios that are equipped with SAME (Specific Area Message Encoder) are available. This allows you to program your radio to receive the tone warning alert only for the counties you program! In addition, you can hear the latest forecasts and other weather information. Generally, our NWR program consists of a local forecast, local hourly weather and the regional weather summary. During certain times of the day, we record climate and river information. We record these programs for three transmitters.
