Beginning Monday, March 7th, 2022 the Jacksonville, Florida WSR-88D Doppler Radar (KJAX) will be down for approximately two weeks for an important upgrade. Technicians will refurbish and replace the pedestal, one of the most critical components of the radar, which is necessary for antenna rotation and positioning to capture data in all directions. The components are extremely heavy and will require the radome to be removed by crane and replaced when the work is completed.
