NOAA Weather Radio

NOAA Weather Radio (NWR), also known as NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards, is a 24-hour network of VHF FM weather radio stations in the United States broadcasting weather information from the National Weather Service. The broadcasts include forecasts, synopses, climate summaries, and specific forecasts for zones, lakes, or coastal waters. During hazardous weather, it broadcasts outlooks, short-term forecasts, statements, or tropical weather summaries. NWR also relays non-weather emergencies like national security statements, natural disaster information, AMBER Alerts, and other hazards via the FCC's Emergency Alert System. Its automated technology allows for segment recycling and consistent updates across all transmitters.
