NOAA Weather Radio
NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) is a nationwide network of radio stations that broadcasts continuous weather information and alerts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. NWR stations operate on a specialized VHF (Very High Frequency) radio band located just above the standard FM broadcast band.
Even though NOAA Weather Radio uses analog broadcasts, weather alerts are transmitted immediately after they are issued, making NWR one of the fastest and most reliable methods of receiving severe weather warnings.
Specialized weather radio receivers are available for purchase and can be programmed to monitor alerts for specific counties or areas. When a warning is issued for the selected area, the receiver automatically sounds a loud alarm to alert users, even in the middle of the night.
There are two NOAA Weather Radio transmitters that serve the Bemidji area: WXM99 and WWG98.
