U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) is the main reason that Washington (the state) has a new coastal Doppler weather radar station, and a year ahead of schedule at that, so she took pride of place at the ribbon-cutting ceremony on Langley Hill in Grays Harbor on Thursday. Cantwell managed to geese an unneeded Air Force NEXRAD radar from Keesler Air Force Base, which meant we didn't have to wait for a new radar to be built, and shaved nearly $3 million from the projected cost, to boot.

"I'm pleased that after several years of fighting for our state’s first coastal Doppler radar, we're getting to the point where the foundation has been laid and the system is being implemented for an on-time opening this September," Cantwell said. "The Pacific Northwest will be safer because of this technology which will help close the weather coverage gap."
