WZZA is pleased to announce a new partnership with River Zurinsky to provide our listeners with real-time severe weather coverage. Although River has provided the Shoals area with online severe weather coverage for the past five years, this will be his first time being heard on any radio station.
When a tornado warning or severe weather conditions are issued in northwest Alabama, West Mississippi, or southern Tennessee, our WZZA Radio announcers will connect with River for real time information about those areas that are directly affected. By partnering with River, WZZA will be able to offer our listeners exclusive, live, up to the minute severe weather coverage both on air and online.
For over half a century, WZZA has always been a valued source of important information that affects our listeners. During the severe weather event on February 15, 2025 when an EF1 tornado touched down in Downtown Tuscumbia, River was the only person covering the storm who specifically called out Cave Street as the storm tracked through the city. During the upcoming Spring 2026 tornado season, WZZA will be the only radio station carrying River’s updates. We hope that this partnership will help save lives across The Shoals, and we encourage you to tell your family and friends to stay tuned to WZZA for potentially lifesaving information during tornado warnings!
Tune in to WZZA’s A Look At The Shoals, Thursday at 2pm, to hear more about River Zurinsky’s weather tracking service, coming soon to Soul Radio!
WZZA Radio Station, owned and operated by Muscle Shoals Broadcasting, serves the Shoals area and beyond.
