Severe weather alert message are broadcast on MDICE TRS TG 24975 as well as on IREACH 155.0550 and Rural Fire 154.2500.

The main channel to monitor when storms approach is TG 21204 on the MDICE TRS. To get a regional perspective on the storm's progress, Champaign County EMA gives and receives updates from Lincoln WX on Starcom21 TG 30324. Also worth monitoring is the Champaign County ARES spotter channel 444.100 (162.2). Since 444.1000 is used for other purposes during regular weather, it is best to lock it out in your scanner until the weather turns severe. 155.0400 (131.8) and 155.1150 (131.8) are no longer used for weather spotting purposes.

Champaign County weather radio check is conducted the first Tuesday each month at 10am on MDICE TRS TG 21204.
