Radio Weather Service Restored in St. Paul


Monday, May 20 2013
After a month-long outage, St. Paul’s federal radio weather service is finally back up and running.
The station broadcasts storm alerts and forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and it’s popular with crab fishermen working off St. Paul and St. George. The signal suddenly dropped out in April as the crab fishery was winding down.
Meteorologist Dave Snider says the radio station was fixed over the weekend, along with communications signals to the NOAA weather office in St. Paul.
