One of the fastest and most
reliable means of obtaining weather information is through the use of the
National Weather Service [NOAA] Weather Radio network. It provides
continuous broadcasts of the latest weather information directly from National
Weather Service offices in Charleston, Pittsburgh, Sterling [Virginia] and
Blacksburg [Virginia]. Weather messages are updated as needed with
timely weather reports. The Weather Radio operates 24 hours a day.
The broadcasts are tailored to the weather information needs of the people
within the receiving area.
During severe weather, the
National Weather Service can interrupt routine broadcasts and substitute
special warning messages. The Weather Service can also activate
specially designated warning receivers. Such receivers sound an alarm
indicating that an emergency exists, alerting the listener to turn the
receiver up to an audible volume, or when operated in a muted mode, these
radios turn on automatically so that the warning message can be heard.
In addition, there are newer weather radios on the market that allow you to
program in the county or counties for which you want the weather radio to
alert for.
The Weather Radios broadcast on
one of several high-band FM frequencies ranging from 162.400 to 162.550
megahertz (MHz). While these frequencies are not normally found on the
average home radio, a number of radio manufacturers offer special Weather
Radios which operate on these frequencies, with our without the emergency
warning alarm. Weather Radio broadcasts can usually be heard as far as
40 miles from the antenna but this varies depending on the broadcast power as
well as terrain.
