About Weather Alert

When the WX100 receives a weather alert:

It sounds an alert siren.

A description of the alert appears.

An indicator on the front of the radio lights.

If the radio receives more than one weather alert at the same time, it displays information about each alert.

The alert descriptions your radio can display are based on a list of specific weather alert types published by the NWS. For a list of all the alert descriptions that your radio can display, see NWS Weather Alert Event Code Descriptions on Page 20 - 21.

Caution: The NWS uses sophisticated weather models to determine an alert’s effective time. However, the end of an alert does not necessarily mean that the related weather emergency is over.
