Several local NOAA weather radio transmitters have been on and off the air inconsistently throughout the past few days. The periodic outages were a result of maintenance being done on a telecommunication line that is used to transmit data from our office. Fortunately, this maintenance is coming to a conclusion, and service has been restored to most of our NOAA weather radio transmitters. As of the morning of Wednesday, January 19, only KXI-86 Crescent City remains impacted by these outages. It is anticipated that this transmitter will return to service by the end of this week.
In the meantime, information about NOAA weather radio transmitter coverage in northern Illinois and northwest Indiana can be found below. More can be found here.
