You may be thinking of weather RADAR. It sends out radio waves, some of them
bounce off of rain, snow, or the boundaries of layers in the atmosphere, and the
radar receiver detects the waves that bounce off of something and come back.

The weather radio helps protect you in one way. Let's say a tornado is coming your way (coming near your house), the weather radio will wake you and alert you. If it wasn't for the weather radio waking and warning you, you'd either be dead or severely hurt.

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".
Receivers for a weather radio station are available at discount, department, and radio stores. They are inexpensive and provide constant weather reporting. Only topic is the weather. This makes it easier to quickly check what's happening in your area.
