Weather warnings

I am sitting on my couch blog surfing (I know- I am an old lady trapped in a 12 year old's body haha) (NO COMMENTS ISABEL!!!!!)  and every few seconds I hear this loud beeping noise coming from the T.V.! It is driving me nuts! Can't I watch the weather channel in peace? I think I'd know if there is going to be a thunderstorm/flash flood if I am watching the weather channel! (Thanks to local on the 8's)
