NWR broadcasts official Weather Service warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Weather Radio comes with Twitter & Facebook support: tell your friends what station you're listening to, "live", without stopping your audio to invoke an external Twitter or Facebook client!

Hello. The itunes link in case it was not posted is http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/weather-radio/id314841443?mt=8 That app looks pretty good. I've heard these forecasts and they come in handy.
