Why weather radars are offline for repairs [Ep. 448]

NOAA and the National Weather Service are spending millions to keep the nation's current network of weather radars operating for years to come. SPONSOR: https://strms.net/hellofresh_carolinawxgroup The radars -- designed in the 1980s and built in the 1990s -- each need about a million dollars worth of refurbishment to continue operating through the year 2030 and beyond. This week on the Carolina Weather Group, we talk with Jessica Schultz, the deputy director of the Radar Operations Center in Norman, Oklahoma. Want to see a radar being repaired?
