                       ***** NOTICE *****

Another milestone in the Doppler, Weather Surveillance Radar,
(WSR-88D) program will be reached on December 6, 1994, when the
National Weather Service (NWS) commissions the WSR-88D radar at
Sacramento, California (call letters DAX).  This brings the
total of commissioned NWS WSR-88D radars to 14. 

Commissioning means that these radars are now issuing products,
such as the Radar Observation (ROB) message, in an official
capacity.  Also, products from 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
contact their local National Weather Service office or call
(301) 713-0070.
