The nationwide network of radio stations broadcasting continuous weather information from the National Weather Service is called NOAA Weather Radio. It provides real-time weather alerts, forecasts, and other emergency information to the public 24 hours a day.
NOAA Weather Radio System should be capitalized when referring to its official name or title. For example, "The NOAA Weather Radio System provides continuous weather information."

In the USA, all of the NOAA National Weather Service weather-radio stations operate in the band between 162.400 MHz to 162.550 MHz. Standard AM/FM radios can't receive these transmissions, and neither can a typical 'short-wave' radio. Shop electronics stores, or on line for "weather radio".
