NOAA All Hazards
Weather Radio
The NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) system
is a direct broadcast by the National Weather
Service on the VHF-FM band.
The
broadcast is a continuous cycle of individual
products providing a tailored weather information
package for residents within the weather radio
broadcast area. The product format varies with
the time of day and with the season. A warning
alarm is transmitted whenever severe weather,
national emergency, or other hazardous event requires
rapid public warnings. Regular programming is
interupted to broadcast these warnings. This warning
alarm can be heard on weather radios equipped
with the "alarm" feature.
NOAA
Weather Radio broadcasts can usually be heard
as far as 50 miles from the antenna site, sometimes
more. The effective range depends on many factors,
particularly the height of the broadcasting antenna,
terrain, quality of the receiver, and type of
receiving antenna.
The
following are NWR locations in Idaho and bordering
states which broadcast continuous 24-hour weather
information.
