WX Weather Radio

Weather Band Radio, also known as NWR or NOAA Weather Radio in the United States, is a network of radio stations that broadcast continuous weather information directly from a nearby transmitter to a geographic location. Weather radio is broadcast in the VHF frequency spectrum using FM modulation. Weather radio is also called NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards.

NOAA is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an agency under the United States Department of Commerce. NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts National Weather Service warnings, watches, forecasts, weather observations and other hazard information 24 hours a day. It also broadcasts alerts of non-weather emergencies such as national security, natural, environmental and public safety

WX1 through WX7 are the standard "weather band" channels, as assigned and implemented by NOAA. The seven FM channels, reserved by the U.S. Government for NWR broadcasts, are located within the larger "public service band", a VHF frequency band generally used by licensed government and public agencies and authorities for non-commercial, official two-way radio communications.
