First Warning Weather has a tool you won't find anywhere else. Doppler Max 5D Storm Spotter powered by LECOM Health is northwestern Pennsylvania's ONLY doppler radar.

The weather radar, which is located in Pleasantville, closes the gaps in local coverage, so we can see rain, snow, damaging winds, hail and even tornadoes.

Until now, the Erie area has relied on National Weather Service radars in Cleveland, Buffalo and Pittsburgh. However, coverage is limited the further you move away from those radars, which has made it difficult to accurately analyze potential severe weather that impacts our lives.

Doppler Max 5D Storm Spotter powered by LECOM Health is our local solution to this problem. It's another reason why the First Warning Weather team at Erie News Now is your source for severe weather coverage you can count on.
