Early Spring Heat Wave in the Southwest U.S.; Critical Fire Weather in the Central Rockies and Plains

An unusual early Spring heat wave will continue much above-normal temperatures over the Southwest U.S. through early next week. Many locations are likely to set records for the highest-ever March temperature. Periods of critical fire weather will persist from the central Rockies to the central Plains through Saturday as gusty winds and low relative humidity continue. Read More >

Coverage is affected by many factors.

Coverage Map Notes

The coverage statistics and maps are calculated using a computer model and station data, assuming ideal conditions. Actual coverage may be 5 to 10 percent below the computer-predicted coverage due to the following factors:

  • The computer model is sensitive to antenna performance. Antenna performance depends on local conditions, which can cause signals to have stronger levels in some directions than others.
  • The placement of NWR antennas is dictated by the tower owner, which may result in a less-than-ideal setup.
  • Nearby structures or bodies of water may interfere with antenna performance.
  • In some cases, antennas may be intentionally adjusted to be "directional" to improve coverage in a specific area at the expense of others.
  • Variations in local site conditions can affect the performance of an individual transmitter and antenna, resulting in less-than-predicted or expected coverage.
  • Seasonal environmental conditions, such as icing or heavy rain, can impact the performance of a transmitter station and its components, particularly those exposed to continuous weather.
  • The coverage maps are displayed in a single-color format, which corresponds to an estimated signal level.
    A signal level greater than 18 dBuV indicates reliable coverage.
