The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather radio broadcasts will not be operational on Monday through Wednesday of this week.
Beginning at around 8:00 Monday morning, all nine of the NOAA weather radio broadcasts provided by the National Weather Service’s Louisville office will go offline due to an update, according to Grayson Co. Emergency Management (GCEM).
The impacted broadcasts serve central Kentucky and will return sometime on Wednesday.
A listing of NOAA Weather Radio transmitters that are broadcast from the NWS Louisville office can be found online at weather.gov/nwr/stations?State=KY.
“Unfortunately,” GCEM said, “there is the possibility of some severe weather on Monday and Tuesday. Please plan for other emergency communication notifications.”
During periods of planned or unplanned outages, GCEM stated that it’s important to have multiple ways to receive warning information. These alternative sources include: Code Red, local television/radio, weather apps on your mobile device, such as the FEMA or Red Cross App, and at the NWS website at weather.gov/lmk/.
