NOAA Weather Radio (NWR)

The National Weather Service weather radio transmitters broadcast 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The routine broadcast includes the up-to-the-minute weather forecast and hourly weather conditions from selected cities around the region. Special climatological data and weather facts are also broadcast daily. During periods of inclement weather, Watches, Warnings, and Advisories take precedence. This may cause regularly scheduled programming to be suspended until conditions improve. During severe weather, National Weather Service personnel will activate a warning alarm tone which will be intercepted by specially built receivers.

Local Transmitters:

The National Weather Service Office in Amarillo has forecast and warning responsibility for the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles. The Amarillo office operates NOAA Weather Radio transmitters at seven locations. These transmitters are located in Amarillo, Stinnett, Miami, Perryton, Dalhart, Stratford and Guymon. All except Stinnett operate at 1000 Watts of power (Stinnett operates at 300 Watts). Neighboring weather forecast offices are responsible for some of the surrounding transmitters that overlap and help cover portions of NWS Amarillo's area of responsibility.
