National Weather Service out of Ruskin improving its Doppler radar
Ruskin, Fla. -- The National Weather Service - Tampa Bay area - is located at 2525 14th Ave SE in Ruskin and is improving its Doppler radar serving West Central and Southwest Florida by installing the latest dual polarization technology.
Installation will begin Monday, Feb. 27 and will last approximately 12 days.
Organizers say this technology will give forecasters better information about heavy rainfall in flooding events, hail detection in thunderstorms, and even recognize whether precipitation is in the form of rain, snow or ice.
