NOAA Weather Public Information Statement

For our neighbors in Asheville and the surrounding area
Statement as of 07:38 am EST on January 26, 2010

... NOAA Weather Radio for Asheville NC still off the air...

The NOAA Weather Radio all hazards transmitter... broadcasting from Mount Pisgah and serving the counties of the North Carolina mountains and foothills will continue to have broadcasting problems today. The signal is fuzzy and intermittently off the air. Equipment at the site has been damaged in a recent winter weather event and
repairs are scheduled. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause to our listeners.

NOAA Weather Radio Audio Streams

One of my favorite things about the internet is the ability to have access to computer controlled radios from around the world (i.e. DXTuners) and scanner audio streams. Now I have discovered a new bunch of audio streams that are well worth bookmarking (especially if you are a weather geek like me).

The folks at the Weather Underground have a NOAA Weather Radio Stream page at
http://www.wunderground.com/wxradio/index.html. They have 89 NOAA Weather Radio Stations broadcast online as of post time. So if you are away from home or need to hear what is happening upstream from you, then this might be the ticket.
