... NOAA Weather Radio transmitter in Avilla degraded...

NOAA Weather Radio station wxj-61 in Avilla/Joplin is operating on
low power. National Weather Service technicians continue to
troubleshoot the problem. An estimated date and time for the
Avilla transmitter being restored to full power is unknown at this
time.

Those in the immediate vicinity of the Avilla transmitter may
still be able to receive the NOAA Weather Radio transmission...
however the stability of the transmitter is in question. Thus... it
is possible that the Avilla transmitter may fail with no advanced
notice.

With the potential for severe thunderstorms and flooding from late
Sunday into Tuesday... it is highly recommended that NOAA Weather
Radio users accessing the Avilla transmitter consider
reprogramming their radios to one of the alternative
transmitters listed below. Please consult your user manual for
instruction on how to switch channels/frequencies.
