If you've tried to activate your NOAA weather radio to hear the current conditions and forecast, you may have noticed that the signal is not as good as usual. The tower at Halls Summit is having a technical issue which has created a degraded signal. The National Weather Service is aware of the problem and are currently working on a solution. At this time, they have no estimation for the full restoration of the signal. Have backup notifications available like weather apps on your phone or Everbridge notifications set up for yourself (The link to set up an Everbridge account is on our pinned posts). Besides the excessive heat warning through Tuesday, there are possible scattered thunderstorms forecast for Sunday afternoon. Always be prepared and have multiple outlets for receiving notifications.
