NWS Birmingham paused their testing earlier this month due to a technical issue. Other National Weather Service offices across the United States also reported problems with alerts.

The issue was identified as a transmitter issue and has been resolved.

The National Weather Service and the First Alert Weather Team want to remind you to have multiple ways to receive weather alerts. This includes weather radios, tv stations, and weather apps (including the WRBL radar app).
