Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is “NWR?” Here is the correct answer. NWR Stands for NOAA Weather Radio – “the voice of the National Weather Service” – NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts National Weather Service warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day. It is provided as a public service by NOAA. The NOAA Weather Radio network has more than 480 stations in the 50 states and near adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and U.S. Pacific Territories.
