Aberdeen NOAA Radio Back Online

Aberdeen, MISS. (WCBI) – Wednesday Night, the Aberdeen NOAA Weather Radio went offline due to an unknown problem.  As of Thursday Morning, repair crews fixed the problem and the radio is back online.

This transmitter serves Pontotoc, Lee, Itawamba, Chickasaw, Monroe, Clay, Lowndes and Lamar Counties.  While the radio is online in time for the weekend severe event, residents who rely on the NOAA Weather radios in these counties should still have a second way to  receive severe weather alerts ahead of storms Friday Night.

To learn more about programming a weather radio, Meteorologist Jacob Dickey shares the process here.  You can also learn more about programming weather radios, building a safety plan and how to stay connected with the First Alert Forecast by visiting here.

One great way to get notifications in addition to your NOAA Weather Radio about inclement severe weather is through the WCBI News app, available for Apple and Android.  Our team will send you the First Alert if a watch or warning is issued for your area.

You can also stream live severe weather coverage and get the forecast on the go, twenty-four-seven.
