All the radio weather reports seem to come from one place (weather.com), they are not local enough.
I bought a Cobra 50 WXST handheld for my move from CA to TX. It tunes to the nearest WX antenna, which would, by default, be local weather. It holds nine rechargeable batteries, but only comes with a 12V adapter.
weather.com gets its info from where most folks get theirs: NOAA and NWS. This national system gets its info from signals sent from the local nodes. Unless I am mistaken, each of those local nodes put out an RSS feed that is publicly accessible.
Even those the info posted in this thread is old, it is still helpful. Sure, could use a little updating, but at least we’re thinking in the right direction.
jimjohn - OUT.
Weather.gov is the source for all of the others. It is one of the few legitimate uses of govt.
Thanks; weather.com is not reliable enough in my area (I can’t speak for others). Too many outings messed up with unpredicted rain and such...
The battery-operated radio I kept handy with my prepper gear did work, and there were broadcasts - just nothing useful in the least.
