New Missouri weather radar could improve Illinois storm warnings

Original: weather radar

A new weather radar installation in Missouri is being credited with the potential to improve severe storm warnings for southern Illinois, according to a report from regional station WFIW. The radar could give forecasters better coverage of storms approaching southern Illinois from the west, an area where warnings currently rely on more distant radar sites. Interest in the story comes as severe weather season draws attention to gaps in radar coverage across the region.

Why now: People are paying attention during severe weather season as better radar coverage could mean faster, more accurate storm warnings.
