Despite the fact that NEXRAD provides overall network superiority, in areas where the old radar site is relatively distant from the replacement NEXRAD, there may be some degradation in NEXRAD detection coverage. Examples of areas of concern include northern Alabama, northern Indiana, northwestern North Dakota, northwestern Pennsylvania, and southeastern Tennessee.

From page 52... ...
The reliability of the NEXRAD and the dependability of services derived from it, as well as communications, forecast office staffing, and warning and forecast dissemination, all become even more important when forecasters are remote from the radar site. Weather services are influenced by the full complement of observations and products available to the forecaster, as well as by cooperative spotter networks and the skills of experienced forecasters.

From page 53... ...
The assessment should include further testing in the Modernization and Associated Restructuring Demonstration in addition to tests at diverse geographic locations. The adequacy of NEXRAD coverage with respect to the "no degradation of service" requirement should be reexamined in an independent study after all National Weather Service NEXRADs are commissioned.
