How do you get weather updates with no cell service?

  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

I have a BF UV5R+. No Ham license, so no tx, but what are some good frequencies to have programmed for weather monitoring? Or a resource to find them? Thanks in advance.
I used NWR Station Listing to find the stations for areas that I'm planning to be in. CHIRP made programming the UV5R with these frequencies and disabling the TX a piece of cake.

Boort.

I scan the NOAA Radio Freq on all my radios it just part of the Scan loop, but if I want details I have a Garmin 66i it's like a Garmin Inreach just with some more functions. The 66i can show me on the map the weather moving in you can stay ahead of it even when you cant see it.
