NOAA Weather Radio Dallas/Forth Worth



This Audio Stream Player is not to be used for protection of life or property

Please remember that you should NOT rely on this Internet audio to receive watches or warnings. Instead, you should have your own dedicated NOAA Weather Radio receiver which will alert you 24 hours a day to hazards in your area.

This stream player is provided as a convenience and is not an authoritative source for official watches, warnings or advisories -- those should be obtained directly using your own NOAA Weather Radio receiver.

How does this work?

The NOAA Site explains NOAA Weather Radio this way:

NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards (NWR) is a nationwide network of radio stations broadcasting continuous weather information directly from a nearby National Weather Service office. NWR broadcasts National Weather Service warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day.

At the National Weather Service Office in Fort Worth the information broadcast is tailored to the weather needs of the people of North Texas. Routine programming include a short term weather forecast, a 7 day forecast for the listening area and hourly weather information. In times of hazardous weather, special products, such as watches, warnings, special weather statements and outlooks will be broadcast.

Known as the "Voice of NOAA's National Weather Service," NWR is provided as a public service by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), part of the Department of Commerce. NWR includes more than 940 transmitters , covering all 50 states, adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Pacific Territories. NWR requires a special radio receiver or scanner capable of picking up the signal. Broadcasts are found in the VHF public service band at these seven frequencies (MHz): 162.400, 162.425, 162.450, 162.475, 162.500, 162.525, 162.550

Midland WR-300 NOAA Weather Radio ReceiverMesquiteWx.com operates a Midland WR300 NOAA Weather Radio set to Channel 1 (162.400MHz) to receive NOAA station KEC56 broadcasting from Dallas with 1000 Watts of power. The audio output of the radio is fed to the line-input on the sound card for the weather station PC. Software by Oddcast encodes a 16Kbps monaural MP3 stream and sends it to the WeatherUnderground. WeatherUnderground then makes the stream accessable world-wide.
