District 5,

The National Wind Institute (“NWI”) has been contracted by the State of Texas legislature via SB5 (2025) to implement a weather forecasting and monitoring (“System”) to serve the Texas Hill Country region.  As part of this System, and on behalf of NWI, Texas Tech University (“TTU”) will contract the procurement, installation, and maintenance of three (3) weather radars to provide enhanced weather and flood detection capability across the region. NWI will coordinate the installation, maintenance, and oversight of the System. These radar Systems will provide data to TTU, which will subsequently disseminate the information to operational forecasters and decision makers in the form of direct data feeds and generated products.
