ROUTINE WEEKLY TEST
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
1104 AM CDT Wed Apr 17 2024 

THE PRECEDING WAS A TEST OF THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WARNING ALARM TONE. 
DURING POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WEATHER SITUATIONS, SPECIALLY EQUIPPED RECEIVERS 
ARE AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED, TO WARN OF THE IMPENDING HAZARD. TESTS OF THESE RECEIVERS, 
BY THIS SYSTEM, ARE NORMALLY CONDUCTED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE, EVERY WEDNESDAY 
BETWEEN 11 AM AND NOON. WHEN THERE IS THE THREAT OF, OR EXISTING SEVERE WEATHER IN 
THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY, THE TEST IS POSTPONED UNTIL THE NEXT AVAILABLE GOOD 
WEATHER DAY. THE WARNING ALARM, TRANSMITTED OVER NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE 
RADIO STATIONS, IN NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST ILLINOIS, WILL BE ACTIVATED 
FOR WATCHES AND OR WARNINGS, AFFECTING ALL COUNTIES IN NORTH CENTRAL AND 
NORTHEAST ILLINOIS, AS WELL AS COUNTIES IN FAR NORTHWEST INDIANA. 
RECEPTION OF THIS BROADCAST AND THE ALARM TONE, WILL VARY AT ANY 
GIVEN LOCATION. THIS VARIABILITY, NORMALLY MORE NOTICEABLE AT A DISTANCE 
FROM A GIVEN TRANSMITTER, WILL OCCUR EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE USING A GOOD 
QUALITY RECEIVER IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER. THIS CONCLUDES THE TONE ALARM TEST. 
WE WILL NOW RETURN TO OUR REGULAR PROGRAM.
