WILL BE TURNED ON TO BROADCAST LIFE SAVING WEATHER WATCHES

AND WARNINGS.

THIS INCLUDES WATCHES AND WARNINGS FOR TORNADOES...FLASH FLOODS...

AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INCLUDING SPECIAL MARINE WARNINGS.

ALERT SYSTEM...WHICH IS CARRIED BY THE BROADCAST MEDIA.

WE WILL PROVIDE UPDATES ON THE STATUS OF THE NEW YORK CITY NOAA

WEATHER RADIO TRANSMITTER THROUGH PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENTS AS

MORE INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE.

I guess we should count ourselves lucky for the RWTs we’ve been getting recently.
