...National Weather Service Indianapolis Radar to be Down for 
Maintenance...


Beginning June 20, 2025, the KIND WSR-88D Doppler Radar operated 
by NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS) in Indianapolis, IN 
will be down for approximately three days (6/20 to 6/22) for 
important maintenance. Technicians will be replacing two 
panels on the outside of the protective radome “ball”, and they 
will also be sealing the radome. The radar will need to be off 
during the entire time of this maintenance. 

During the downtime, adjacent radars will be available, including 
Northern Indiana (KIWX), Evansville (KVWX), Louisville (KLVX), 
Lincoln IL (KILX), and Wilmington OH (KILN), as well as the 
Indianapolis Terminal Doppler Radar (TIDS). For direct access to 
any of these surrounding radar sites, visit the following website
at https://radar.weather.gov/. These surrounding radars will 
continue to support timely and accurate NWS forecasts and 
warnings.

The KIND WSR-88D is part of a network of 159 operational radars. 
The Radar Operations Center in Norman, Oklahoma, provides 
life cycle management and support for all WSR-88Ds.
