KEC63 (sometimes referred to as Detroit All Hazards) is a NOAA Weather Radio station that serves the Metro Detroit area and surrounding cities. It is programmed from the National Weather Service forecast office in Detroit/Pontiac, Michigan with its transmitter located in Southfield, on WDIV's broadcast tower. It broadcasts weather and hazard information for the following Counties: Lenawee, Livingston, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne. Under exceptionally rare conditions, such as when KEC63 is down for maintenance or off the air from lighting strikes to its tower, Cleveland, Ohio's weatheradio station, KHB59 can be faintly heard, since it also operates on 162.550 MHz.
