Weather programs on the radio

Weather radio stations are dedicated radio stations that provide up-to-date weather information and emergency alerts to the public. These stations are operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and are available in the United States and its territories.

Weather radio programs are broadcasted 24/7 and can be accessed on a variety of devices, including radios, smartphones, and computers. The programs provide weather forecasts, severe weather warnings, and other emergency information, such as evacuation orders, flood warnings, and Amber alerts.

NOAA weather radio stations transmit on seven different frequencies, ranging from 162.400 to 162.550 MHz. Each frequency covers a specific geographical area, and listeners can tune in to the frequency that covers their location. Weather radio programs are available in both English and Spanish, making them accessible to a wide audience.

In addition to weather information, some weather radio stations also broadcast other emergency information, such as hazardous materials alerts, earthquake notifications, and public safety announcements.

Weather radio stations and programs are an important resource for staying informed and safe during severe weather events. It is recommended that everyone have access to a weather radio and regularly tune in to their local weather radio station for updates and alerts.
