Weather reports
Weather Radio is a service of the National Oce-
anic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
of the US Department of Trade. Weather
reports are repeated every 4 to 6 minutes and
are routinely updated at intervals of 1 to
3 hours, and more often when necessary. Most
stations operate 24 hours a day. In case of a
storm, the National Weather Service interrupts
the routine weather news and transmits special
warning messages instead. Should you have
questions regarding NOAA Weather Radio,
please contact the nearest office of the National
Weather Service or write to the National
Weather Service at: W/OM1, National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration, 1325 East-
West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910.
