About NOAA Weather Radio

NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards (NWR) is a nationwide network of radio stations broadcasting continuous weather information directly from the nearest National Weather Service office. NWR broadcasts official Weather Service warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Many weather radios are equipped with audible and visual alerts which will be activated the moment hazardous weather threatens your immediate area, and those with "SAME" (Specific Area Message Encoder) receivers even allow you to select specific areas (counties).

Doesn't my phone receive weather alerts?

Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) are only activated for the most life-threating weather hazards, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, destructive severe thunderstorms, considerable or catastrophic flash flooding, and tsunamis. Everyone should have more than one way to receive weather alerts, and a NOAA Weather Radio ensures you can receive any alert at any time.

Weekly tests of the NOAA Weather Radio alerting features are conducted every Wednesday between 11 AM and noon.

In the event of active weather, the test will be postponed to the next day.
