SUBJECT    EVANSVILLE AND BRANDON RADARS

The National Weather Service (NWS) will begin operating a
new radar at Evansville, IN, on January 31, 2003.  This
radar will produce the same products set as the WSR-88Ds.
Users will be able to receive these products routinely
through the Radar Products Central Collection/Dissemination
Service (RPCCDS) beginning January 31.  Some products will
also be available intermittently before that date.

The NWS is moving the radar at Jackson, MS, to Brandon, MS.
The Brandon radar will become operational between
February 13 and 28, 2003.  Once operations start products
from the Brandon radar will be transmitted to users through
the RPCCDS on a routine basis and products from the Jackson
radar will no longer be available.
