Here is a public information statement from the National Weather Service. National Weather Service Raleigh WSR 88D Dopper Radar Cracks will be unavailable July 30th through August 1, 2025. Due to maintenance and calibration work beginning on July 30th 2025, the cracks WSRAD8D operated by NOAA's National Weather Service in Raleigh, North Carolina, will be unavailable for approximately three days due to maintenance and calibration work modification note 245. Technicians will remove and replace the phased shifter and wave guide pieces. They will be replaced with a new interface panel and wave guide sections. A system calibration will be performed following the hardware changeout. This work is expected to result in a two to three day outage of cracks WSR 88D Doppler radar. During the downtime, adjacent National Weather Service Doppler weather radars will be available, and they include Blacksburg, Virginia KFTX. Wakefield. Virginia KAKQ. Newport Moorhead City, North Carolina KMHX. Wilmington, North Carolina KLTX.
