When camping off the power grid we find watching the NATL BROACAST digital TV using my OTA BATWING antenna from the local towns works out great for us. There is always a 24/7 live radar channel.

This coupled with the NOAH WX ALERT radio gives us all the warnings we need. My WX RADIO is a $15 WX ALERT RADIO Model 12-260 from Radio Shack.
