From Pam in Garrettsville:
Q: Is that a real radar on top of your building in that white dome?
A: The short answer is yes. The long answer is it's just one of several radars we have available at Channel 3.
The one on our building is a lower power system that we use to track storms over Lake Erie.
The Xband Doppler Radar is a real time radar system (seen on Channel 3 and Weather Plus more often). It's our own system and located at our transmitter site in Parma.
We also use the Nexrad Radar system that is provided by the National Weather Service Office to all TV outlets. This information is roughly 6 minutes old by the time we receive it. (That's why we have our own real time system to give you the most to update as possible).
