An actual human operator, as depicted above, will only be used in rare
circumstances, such as live broadcasting of severe weather warnings
Common
questions & answers:
Q:
What is NOAA Weather Radio? A: For
information on this subject, please visit the
NOAA
Weather Radio information page; the page you
are viewing is designed to help you tune into
the Internet broadcasts.
Q:
How can I listen in to the products
in the NWR broadcast cycle? A: First
of all, you'll need a media player installed on
your PC. Most Windows 98 or later
computers already have one already installed,
so you may not have to download any special software.
Second of all, you'll need to be connected to
the Internet at 14.4 Kbps or faster; we recommend
a 28.8 Kbps connection or better for best results.
Click on the MP3 link for the NWR product you wish
to listen to, and your default media player will
load and play the clip. If you click on
a link and nothing happens, or the clip does not
play normally, rebooting (restarting) your PC
will most likely clear up the problem.

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 or Environment Canada 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 or EC Weather Radio receiver. Please do not rely on this page as your only source to hear NOAA/EC radio. When you need it most, storms may cause power outages at this end. It is a good idea to mainly rely on a separate NOAA/EC radio with battery back-up.
Note: Due to streaming software delays, this audio may be behind the NOAA/EC radio broadcast.
If you are interested in providing a stream for a NOAA/EC weather radio in your area, please
see noaaweatherradio.org website "How To?" page for details to submit an audio stream.

The following is a excerpt from the NOAA Site about the NOAA Weather Radio Network:
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.
Working with the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) Emergency Alert System , NWR is an "All Hazards" radio network, making it your single source for comprehensive weather and emergency information. In conjunction with Federal, State, and Local Emergency Managers and other public officials, NWR also broadcasts warning and post-event information for all types of hazards -- including natural (such as earthquakes or avalanches), environmental (such as chemical releases or oil spills), and public safety (such as AMBER alerts or 911 Telephone outages).
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

WEATHER NORMALS
What does it really mean when you here the term Normal. Actually a more approriate term is average temp. The National Weather
Service currently uses the standard of a 30 year average to determine the "Normal Temperatures and Rainfall". for any given date. This average is adjusted to form a mean curve over any given month, this way the day to day change does not have large variations. Currently N.O.A.A. is using the period of (1970 - 2000) to determine normals.
