The best up-to-date news for weather is your local amateur radio 2m-440
SkyWarn repeater. Local TV news stations monitor those frequncies as well as
NOAA alerts, but with SkyWarn you listen to the hams describe weather at
their various locations and you can track any storm cell right to your
backyard when monitoring their transmissions - very handy in bad weather
conditions

NO\AA weather radio isn't any good anyways. During a recent "weather
emegency"
here, which all of the tv stations that had news departments, reported
on
as
soon as happened, you wouldn't even know there was any weather emergency
by
listening to NOAA.

I listenedto both during that time. NOAA was four hours behind, still
playing
the weather from before the "weather emegency" with no warning about it
..

while the tv stations all told about it.

Apparently you must be tuned in to the wrong frequency or have the wrong
SAME codes set...

Where do you think those weather alerts on your TV come from? Why, NOAA
of
course! At least that's the way it works around here... NOAA alerts the
TV
and Radio stations who then relay it to the public...

ONLY NOAA CAN ISSUE WEATHER WATCHES AND WARNINGS, no one else!
