Hazardous Weather Outlook -> Climate Summaries (for Harrisburg and/or Lancaster) -> Regional Weather Synopsis -> Forecast -> Extended Forecast -> Current Conditions and Station Identification.

Also, once an hour, a long identification plays which includes background about NOAA Weather Radio.

Required Weekly Test

The required weekly test is conducted at 11:15 on Wednesdays.
