Current Status: The National Weather Service St. Louis and the National Weather Service Central Region Headquarters continue to try to find a suitable location to reestablish the Hillsboro/Coffeen NWR site back to service. As of this date, we have been unsuccessful in our attempts to locate a tower that can accommodate us. We will continue to work with our local partners and County Emergency Managers to try to resolve this issue as timely as possible.
