Weather band is supported on radios for North America. Equipped radios can tune to any of the seven weather band frequencies. The six weather band presets are originally set to the first six weather band frequencies.
In the US, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operates National Weather Radio (NWR) stations across the country. These stations continually broadcast weather announcements using the seven different frequencies designated for weather band use as shown in

In Canada, Weatherradio Canada broadcasts weather information on the same set of frequencies.
