From their website:
http://www.erh.noaa.gov/er/phi/wxradio/nwrfaq.htm
The hourly weather observations are updated every hour between :10 and :15 after the hour.
The 7 day public forecast is normally prepared twice a day, at about 4 AM and 4 PM. However, the forecast is updated between the regularly scheduled times as needed, often in the late morning (9-11 AM) and evening (8-10 PM). The marine forecasts are issued four times a day, at about 4 AM, 10-11 AM, 3-4 PM, and 9-10 PM, but will also be updated between regular issuances if needed.
If a forecast starts out with: it was probably issued around:
TODAY 4 AM
THIS AFTERNOON 10 AM
THIS EVENING 4 PM
OVERNIGHT 10 PM
The climate summaries (on those stations that play them), are issued twice a day, in the early morning and late afternoon.
All of the statements, watches, and warnings that play on the radio are issued on an as-needed basis. Statements concerning longer-term potential weather are often issued at about the same time as the public forecasts.
