A National Weather Service official is planning to shut down radars on sunny days in the South — and crossing his fingers that no unexpected storms pass through.
Other government agencies have taken steps too; the National Weather Service may shut down radars on sunny days in the South, according to the Washington Post.
Israeli officials say the SA-5's present a threat to the highaltitude, American-built Hawkeye command and control aircraft whose look-down radar can pick out Syrian jet fighters and guide Israeli aircraft in their attacks.

Evacuating meant powering down weather radar and sensitive equipment, and the radar remains offline.

Unlike in Paducah, which could turn its services over to a backup office, evacuation in Omaha for a flood meant powering down weather radar and sensitive equipment.
