Another important milestone in the Doppler, Weather Surveillance

the National Weather Service (NWS) commissions the WSR-88D radar

will occur at approximately 11:30 AM Eastern.  

Commissioning means that the AMA radar will begin issuing

the NEXRAD Information Dissemination Service will no longer have
an experimental or test message appended to them. 

Persons wishing more information concerning the WSR-88D should
