          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Weather Radar Coverage Improvement Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill requires the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to develop a plan to replace the Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) system of the National Weather Service by September 30, 2040. (The NEXRAD system is a network of weather radars used to detect precipitation and wind.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Under the bill, the plan must incorporate certain elements, including estimates of improvements to coverage and accuracy made possible by replacement of the system&amp;nbsp;and an evaluation of the potential use of commercial radars to replace or supplement the system.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bill also authorizes the National Weather Service to contract with third parties to fill gaps in radar coverage so as to better detect significant weather events over a larger area.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</text>
