NOAA Weather Radio EAS/SAME Alerts
Alerts received from NOAA Weather Radio by either a Weather Eagle 110 / Alert Eagle 120 Receiver/Decoder, or a Weather Eagle 105 / Alert Eagle 400 Receiver/Decoder are displayed on the website in a grid. The alerts are color-coded by type - red for warnings, yellow for watches and green for tests. The remaining time on these alerts is automatically counted down to expiration. Ten minutes after expiration they are removed from the grid.

National Weather Service Digital Warnings
The full text description of the alert for any user-selected location in the United States is found in the National Weather Service Digital Warnings Database. These alerts are also displayed in a grid, color coded for type and severity of the warning and are removed from the grid after their expiration. Advisories and statements, which are not tone-alerted on NOAA Weather Radio appear in this grid.
