Cleveland’s radar system is getting an upgrade.

Technicians are refurbishing and replacing the pedestal at the radar tower near Cleveland Hopkins International Airport – one of the most critical components of the radar, which officials say is needed for antenna rotation / positioning to capture the data in all directors.

“The components are extremely heavy and will require the radome to be removed by crane and replaced when the work is completed,” according to an e-mail earlier this week from Patrick Saunders of the National Weather Service in Cleveland.

The ball is made of fiberglass and weighs about 4,200 lbs.
