LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â The LEX 18 StormTracker Weather Team said farewell to an old friend this week.
The MaxTrack Live Doppler, which has been central Kentucky s only LIVE Doppler radar for years, was officially decommissioned after 18 years of service to the Bluegrass. It was the tool that allowed our meteorologists to give timely and life-saving warnings for Lexington s Masterson Station tornado in 2004 as well as the horrible tornadoes of March 2, 2012. The weathered Doppler ball has stood over the north side of Lexington since 2003.
