Duluth Weather Radar Down for Upgrade

High pressure over the region will keep mainly dry conditions through Saturday. Today, an upper level disturbance will keep skies mostly cloudy today with an isolated afternoon shower possible. The next chance for rain moves in Saturday night and lasts into early next week.

The Duluth WSR-88D Weather Radar (KDLH) will be down through the end of August for a major hardware upgrade. This upgrade will replace the pedestal unit, which rotates the radar dish around horizontally and tilts up and down vertically. This upgrade will help to ensure the reliability of the radar well into the 2030s. For more information, please visit https://www.weather.gov/dlh/2019-August-KDLH-Radar-Outage
