WEATHER CHANNEL MESSAGES

NOAA (National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration) 24 hours a day, 7
days a week. An agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA
warns of dangerous weather, charts our seas and skies, guides our use and
protection of ocean and coastal resources and conducts research to

broadcast continuous weather information across much of southern
Canada.
