family, and many businesses, should have a National Weather Service
(NWS) all hazard alert radio. The NWS not only provides current weather
conditions and forecasts, they also transmit all hazard alerts for a
wide area. These alerts are not all weather related: such as "shelter in
place", "radiation hazard", "civil emergency message", "evacuation
immediate", "911 telephone outage" or "child abduction emergency". All
hazard alert radios can be programmed for only one county. The "Specific
Area Message Encoding" ( SAME ) is a 6 digit code: ABCDEF. A = in most
cases 0, it can be used to sub-divide a county into zones ( 1 - 9 )
otherwise zero for the entire county, BC = state number; DEF = county
number. Example: Clay county Missouri 0 29 047 / 0 = entire county /
29 = Missouri state code/ 047 = Clay county code. If a hazard affects a
larger area or region, then all the affected counties will be
individually triggered by the alert signal. Most NWS radios can be
programmed for multiple counties. The National Weather Service has seven radio channels, frequency modulated (FM) voice and data: 162.400, 162.425, 162.450, 162.475, 162.500, 162,525, and 162.550. National Weather Service station coverage and "SAME" codes can be obtained a the NOAA web site. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  -------------------------------------------------- -High Pressure: Clear Skies Light Winds Settled Weather Isobars are quite far apart Travel clockwise in Northern Hemisphere -Low Pressure: Strong Winds Heavy Rains Unsettled Weather Isobars are close together Travel counter clockwise in southern Hemisphere -Cold Front: Blue Line with triangle on it -Warm Front: Red Line with half circles on it -Occludded Front: Purple Lines with triangles & half circles on it Occurs when a cold front catches up to see warm front Clouds & Rainfall -Weakening Warm front: Red half circles & triangles separated by an X A front that is starting to dissipate Cloud & Rainfall start to disappear -Trough: Thick black line Increasing cloud cover & increase chance of rain A long area of low surface pressure -Average Sea Level pressure is 1013 MB.
