The National Weather Service's NOAA Weather Radio network is expanding
across South Texas. Transmitter sites are located in Victoria, Port
O'Connor, Corpus Christi, Riviera, Laredo, Three Rivers and Dilley.
A new site is in the works for the Rio Grande Plains near Hebbronville
but the details are still being ironed out. This new site will provide
critical severe weather warning coverage to areas that have never had
coverage before.
To take advantage of NOAA Weather Radio, you will need to purchase
a special NOAA Weather Radio receiver. These can be purchased at
your local electronics store or online (residential
vendors). NOAA Weather Radio receivers are like smoke detectors
for weather. When you and your family are asleep at night, and the
National Weather Service issues a severe weather warning, your NOAA
Weather Radio receiver will sound an alarm, so you and your family
can get to safety.
