Kansas' Most Powerful Private Doppler Radar is on KSN!

KSN Presents Kansas' Most Powerful Private Doppler Radar! It is the next generation of radar technology. No other private Doppler radar can match its speed, power and accuracy. The information it provides in an instant will help save lives, prevent injury and lessen property damage. It's High Definition Doppler and it's the latest addition to the life-saving technology of the KSN WeatherLab.


Engineered with the fastest and most powerful technology available to private radar systems, High Definition Doppler is capable of 15 times the resolution of NEXRAD Doppler in normal operational mode, up to 10 times the resolution of the radar at KWCH TV and 50 times the accuracy of the system at KAKE TV. KSN's High Definition Doppler is 40% more powerful than the radar at KWCH TV and 1,400 times more powerful than the radar owned by KAKE TV. In addition, KSN's High Definition Doppler is up to six times faster than competing radar, updating images every 10 seconds. "This is the right radar at the right time for the people of Kansas," said KSN Chief Meteorologist Dave Freeman. "With the speed, power and resolution of High Definition Doppler, we can see storm cells and severe weather detail like never before - features as small as 60 meters, or about half of a football field! This is a very important addition to our capabilities, giving our viewers the time they need ."

Located just west of Haven, Kansas, the radar dome housing the High Definition Doppler is visible from K-96 highway. Now available online!
