Default What the hell is wrong with the NexRad Doppler radars in Detroit andCleveland?

Jesus christ, the NexRad Radar station in Detroit is down AGAIN, and
again (at the same time) so is Cleveland.

What the **** is wrong with those stations? They work all friggin
winter when there's no heavy weather and now in the summer seems that
once a week those 2 stations are down for part of (or an entire) day
or two.

Well you can rest assured that preventative maintenance would be
rescheduled if any weather threatened the area. An OB4 Install is an
AWIPS upgrade. This also probably wouldn't happen if there was
significant weather in their area of forecast responsibility.

Jeez.

Jeez.

The local news stations have been on it more than in years before. If there
is severe storms they usually break from programming to give an radar
update. Fox will show a diagram in the corner of the screen which switchs
over to radar. I go to clickondetroit.com for the great lakes and ohio
valley radar loops. I unplug my computer when cloud to ground lightning is
in the area.
