National Weather Service Forecast Office

NOAA Weather Radio is a Service of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the U. S. Department of Commerce. As the "Voice of the National Weather Service," it provides continuous broadcasts of the latest weather information from local National Weather Service Offices. Weather messages are repeated every 4 to 6 minutes and are routinely updated every 1 to 3 hours or more frequently in rapidly changing local weather. Most stations operate 24 hours daily.

The regular broadcasts are specifically tailored to the weather information needs of the people within the service area of the transmitter. Other specialized information, such as hydrological forecasts and climatological data are also broadcast.

During severe weather, National Weather Service broadcasters can interrupt the routine weather broadcasts and insert special warning messages concerning imminent threats to life and property. The broadcaster can also add special signals to warnings that will trigger "alerting" features on specially equipped receivers.

NOAA weather radio currently broadcasts from over 400 FM transmitters on seven frequencies
on the VHF band, ranging from 162.400 to 162.550 mega hertz (MHz) in fifty states, Puerto Rico, the
Virgin Islands, Guam, and Saipan. These frequencies are outside the normal AM or FM broadcast bands.
