Weather radio broadcasts on isolated VHF frequencies

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

To prevent consumer dials from getting cluttered with endless drone voices reading barometric pressures, severe weather broadcasts sit entirely outside the standard AM/FM bands. You need a specialized receiver to pick up the 162 MHz range, which quietly loops grim meteorological data 24/7 until it forcefully activates an alarm during a tornado.
