I think this topic has been discussed in the past, but is there any chance of adding to the existing web of WSR 88D coverage? You can't help but notice some rather large holes in the existing coverage during storm events. A few of these holes are in areas of the country that have frequent thunderstorm and tornado outbreaks.
Just a few areas I think could use more radar coverage...
Valentine, Nebraska.
Kirksville, Missouri.
Antlers, Oklahoma.
Pecos, Texas.
Chanute, Kansas.
I think some of these areas may be covered by other radars, such as older NWS radars and TV station radars. How usefull these are to the NWS is beyond my knowledge.
So is the current network of radars going to be what have for many years to come, or is there at least the possibility of adding more?
