Live Radar

History Of the Color Radar AT WLX

moving forward

As the 80’s approached, it was plain to see that the community was lacking early detection, and that adequate warnings were something desperately needed. In 1987, before 88d radars were being installed across the country, WLX installed one of the very first color weather radars in the state of Tennessee. The station used the in-studio radar to supplement the National Weather Service NEXRAD radar which they had access to. By using both resources they were to provide additional information that NWS could not dispense about potential tornados below 10,000 feet in the area.

Roger Wright 1987

Radio station owner Roger Wright, who grew up in the Dunn community near Lawrenceburg and Leoma, recalls experiencing severe storms and tornado threats during his childhood. Although none directly impacted his family’s house and farm, one tornado came dangerously close, causing significant damage to a neighbor’s house just a mile north. Thankfully, there were no injuries, but scars were left behind.

Fast forward to the early 70s, a tornado struck the Horseshoe Bend area just south of Lawrenceburg, destroying multiple houses and causing injuries. Similar to past incidents, there was no warning before this tornado hit.

Today in Weather

For years to follow, WLX became a place to turn to for weather locally and as technology in detecting tornadoes evolved it was determined in 2020, following two tornadoes that caused substantial damage in Lawrenceburg with no warnings, that a new radar was needed. The effort began to install a radar with not only velocity, but other NWS features capable of detecting tornadoes and other weather phenomenon in the local area. The radar was installed the next year and continues to serve the community today.

At present, the WLX radar is manned 24/7 during severe weather to provide as much warning as possible to the Tennessee Valley region.
