                       ***** NOTICE *****

Another milestone in the Doppler, Weather Surveillance
Radar, (WSR-88D) program was reached on April 1, 1994 when the
National Weather Service (NWS) commissioned the WSR-88D radar at
Dodge City, Kansas (call letters DDC).  This brings the total of
commissioned NWS WSR-88D radars to five.

Commissioning means that this radar is now issuing products, such
as the Radar Observation (AFOS ctaegory ROB), in an official
capacity.  Also, products from the NEXRAD Information Dissemination
Service 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.
