NWS Riverton Weather Radar Transmitter Refurbishment - Radar to be Down May 21 to May 25
The weather radar used by the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Riverton will be down for approximately five days beginning Monday, May 21, for the refurbishment of the transmitter. Although the form, fit, and function of the transmitter will remain the same, old breakers and cables original to the radar will be replaced with modern fuses and cables. This will help the 20-year old radar operating smoothly for another 20 years. During the outage, some radar coverage is available from adjacent radar sites including Pocatello, ID; Billings, MT; Salt Lake City, UT; and Cheyenne, WY. |
