... Dual polarization radar installation February 13-26 2012...

The National Weather Service Doppler radar in Jacksonville Florida...
kjax... will undergo a modernization to implement a new and
exciting technology known as dual polarization. Installation will
take up to two weeks and begin on Monday... February 13, 2012.

This upgrade will cause the kjax radar to be down and unavailable
for much of this two week duration. During this down time... NWS
Jacksonville will use surrounding NWS Doppler radars for coverage
including those in Melbourne... Tampa... Tallahassee... Valdosta
Georgia and Charleston South Carolina.

For more information on the benefits of the dual polarization
installation at Jacksonville Florida... please visit... lower case...
