The Georgia NOAA Weather Radio Network was re-aligned. The number of transmitters has increased. Some of the counties served by each transmitter were changed. As a result of the Governor's Task Force on Warning and Communication, and through a joint effort of the National Weather Service and the Georgia Emergency Management Emergency Agency, the expansion of NOAA Weather Radio coverage in Georgia has been nearly completed. The National Weather Service in Peachtree City now provides programming for 16 transmitters on seven frequencies across north and central Georgia.
Some communities can hear weather broadcasts from more than one radio station.
The one to which you usually listen may NOT be the one that now provides the best audio quality. More importantly, the counties in the official service area of some transmitters have changed. Be sure to click on the tower symbols on the map to see what counties are in the official service area. However, if there is any chance of severe or hazardous weather on that day, the weekly test is cancelled.
