Area residents may notice their NOAA weather radios beeping or flashing after a system reset that took place over the weekend.
Emergency officials say the reset may cause some in-home weather radios to periodically beep with all three indicator lights flashing. This issue has been reported primarily with white, in-home weather station models.
To stop the alerts, users should locate the black switch on the side of the radio, turn it off, then turn it back on again. This should reset the unit and restore normal operation.
Weather radios remain an important tool for receiving severe weather alerts, watches, and warnings. Residents are encouraged to ensure their radios are functioning properly, especially as changing weather conditions continue across the region.
Anyone who continues to experience issues after resetting their device should consult the manufacturer’s instructions or contact local emergency management for assistance.
