Just wanted to pass along some important weather information regarding NOAA Weather Radios. First off, anyone who receives alert signals from the Roanoke, Lynchburg, Hinton or Mount Jefferson transmitters will notice the radio broadcast will be off-the-air Tuesday, September 25th from 10am to 4pm.
The National Weather Service in Blacksburg will be conducting a computer software upgrade. Again, the radios should be back up by 4pm Tuesday.

NO severe weather is forecast for Tuesday, so the timing is impeccable. Nice job NWS Blacksburg!
