NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards

In Brief:

NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards is a service provided by all NWS offices, free of charge, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is the fastest, most reliable means of receiving information about life-threatening weather. Routine programming includes the latest weather conditions; short term forecasts of significant weather expected within the next 1-3 hours; forecasts of temperature, sky condition, wind and precipitation out to 7 days; marine forecasts out to 5 days; a hazardous weather outlook; tropical weather outlooks and/or advisories (in season). Of course, all watches, warnings and advisories will also automatically be broadcast.

Since 1997, a computer-automated voice has been used to broadcast NWS products. While the vocal quality of this voice left something to be desired, it did allow for instantaneous broadcasting of time-critical warnings. Recently, the NWS upgraded the "voice of the NWS" with a more human-sounding voice. Learn more about the NWR Voice Improvement Program here. To provide feedback about our new voice, fill out our NWR Voice Improvement Feedback Form.

Here is a list of all the NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards stations in the United States.

One of the most important reasons to own a weather radio is the ability to receive up-to-the-second information on severe weather such as severe thunderstorms, large hail, strong and damaging winds, tornadoes, and flash floods. Many weather radio receivers are equipped with a tone alert feature which will be activated when severe weather threatens your area.

Are you looking for that special (but affordable) gift? Why not give a NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards receiver? Whether you're boating, camping, traveling, or just getting ready for work, a NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards receiver puts timely weather information and forecasts at your fingertips...twenty-four hours a day.

We all know that smoke detectors and fire alarms should be basic necessities in any home, office, or public meeting place. Unfortunately, many people do not include NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards receivers in this list of potentially life-saving devices. Many receivers have specially built alarm features that sound off during hazardous weather situations, even when the radio receiver volume is turned off. NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards is one of the quickest ways of warning the public about dangerous weather, and it makes an inexpensive (but valuable) gift for family members and friends.

There are many fine types of NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards receivers available. Prices generally range from $20 to $50. If you do invest in a receiver, the National Weather Service recommends that you buy one with an alarm feature that can be activated to warn of emergency situations.
