NWS Doppler radar system in Sioux Falls area, 6/6/22.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — The National Weather Service’s Sioux Falls Doppler radar facility is getting a major upgrade.
Warning Coordination Meteorologist Peter Rogers says it requires the facility to be off-line for approximately two weeks starting June 20th to replace the pedestal….
He says removing the pedestal is complicated.
Rogers says National Weather Service Radar sites in Aberdeen, Rapid City, North Platte, and Omaha, Nebraska as well as Des Moines and the Twin Cities will provide overlapping coverage during the upgrade.
