In 1983 NewsChannel 11 introduced the South Plains to LIVE Doppler Radar. WOW, what a change this made in Severe Weather coverage. We upgraded that unit to provide street level mapping, and full color display in the mid 90's and changed the name to Super Doppler. Both advancements helped us bring Severe weather coverage to a new level of information delivery, for you to use to keep your family safe and informed of severe weather activity on the South Plains.
