(LINCOLN) The National Weather Service has announced that repairs on NOAA Weather Radio Station KXI-48 in Newton are scheduled for this week, weather permitting. The NWS-operated weather station has been off the air for a few months due to antenna failure, but NWS officials are expecting to have the Jasper County station back up & running very soon.
