Heat and Fire Weather Concerns in the West; Excessive Rainfall Possible in the South-Central U.S.

Heat will build over the Intermountain West and the Southwest the next couple of days. Lightning from dry thunderstorms can create new fire starts and combined with gusty winds may cause a fire to rapidly grow in Oregon and northern California. Flash flooding will be possible in Arizona and west Texas today, as well as parts of the southern and central Plains due to slow moving thunderstorms. Read More >

 


 

NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio (NWR) broadcasts 24 hours a day, relaying forecast, watch and warning information to the public across the nation.

NWR not only broadcasts weather information but also is the primary vehicle for the Emergency Alert System (EAS) which provides emergency notification targeted at specific areas (including Shelter-In-Place Warnings, Civil Emergency Messages, Fire Warnings and 911 outage information to name a few).

NOAA Weather Radio Support:

 

 

NWR receivers can be purchased for as little as $20 and provide a good piece of mind during severe weather.  After properly programming your new radio, you can expect to be notified of inclement weather or of a threat to your neighborhood.  A loud audible alert accompanies the more urgent messages.

The National Weather Service in San Angelo operates 8 transmitters across West Central Texas.  These transmitter sites are found in the table above.
