Service backup is important in situations like this - but also is being increasingly used due to NWS staffing and infrastructure issues. tinyurl.com/4txuyhbztinyurl.comTragic vehicle accident takes an NWS office offlineLooking at how the NWS offices back each other up.

Without a reliable, modernized radar network, we lose valuable time in seeing tornadoes *before* they threaten places and people.

Scott Thomas @scotttgl1.bsky.social · 19/08/2025Yet I was told the plan is for four radar panels that do not spend, which would just lead to slightly lower beam width at the edge of the panel panels 110
Scott Thomas @scotttgl1.bsky.social · 19/08/2025To an extent we can. Tech like phased array uses antennas to direct beams to scan elevations rather than having a moving antenna drive scanning 130
