Officials with the NWS in Melbourne said Tuesday the Daytona Beach NOAA Radio transmitter, operating on a frequency of 162.400 Megahertz is back in service.

“If you switched to one of our alternate transmitters during this outage, please change your frequency back to 162.400 Megahertz or channel 1 on your NOAA Weather Radio,” the NWS said in a statement.

A similar issue occurred in February 2016.
