of the US Department of Trade. Weather
reports are repeated every 4 to 6 minutes and
are routinely updated at intervals of 1 to
3 hours, more often when necessary. Most sta-
tions operate 24 hours a day. In case of a storm,
the National Weather Service interrupts the
routine weather news and transmits special
warning messages instead. Should you have
questions regarding NOAA Weather Radio,
please contact the nearest office of the National 1.{Radio}.
