Minnesota SF530 allocates funds for weather forecasting gap-filling radar data to enhance public safety.

Minnesota SF530 appropriates $1,270,000 in fiscal year 2026 and $2,050,000 in fiscal year 2027 from the general fund to the commissioner of public safety. This funding is intended to procure weather forecasting gap-filling radar data and services. The data will fill critical gaps in low-level observations in Minnesota, initially addressing five gaps in the first year and eight gaps in subsequent years. This will improve weather planning, preparation, and response, thereby enhancing public safety across the state.
