What happened
Climavision installed a new weather radar in Brainerd on September 15 to help fill gaps in weather monitoring around the Brainerd lakes area. This installation was made possible through a partnership with Brainerd Public Utilities. Separately, the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources recommended grant funding for Kandiyohi County's proposal to deploy similar radar infrastructure across the state.
Why it matters
The installation addresses a decades-long gap in Doppler radar coverage in Minnesota. The recommendation for Kandiyohi County's project, which seeks $3.75 million, will be presented to the 2027 Minnesota Legislature for approval from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund.
