SUBJECT: NEXRAD Commissioning Notice - North Little Rock, AR
and Washington/Baltimore (Sterling), VA
***** NOTICE *****
Another milestone in the Doppler, Weather Surveillance
Radar, (WSR-88D) program will be reached on June 15, 1994 when
the National Weather Service (NWS) commissions the WSR-88D radars
at North Little Rock, Arkansas (call letters LZK), and at
Washington/Baltimore (Sterling), Virginia (call letters LWX).
This brings the total of commissioned NWS WSR-88D radars to 10.
Commissioning means that these radars will now issue products,
such as the Radar Observation (AFOS category ROB) message, in an
official capacity. Also, products from the NEXRAD Information
Dissemination Service will no longer have an experimental or test
label appended to them.
Persons wishing more information concerning the WSR-88D should
contact their local National Weather Service office or call
(301) 713-0070.
