The weather station at the Starke County Airport should be back in service in the near future. It stopped reporting local weather conditions a few months ago, causing current conditions to be left blank on the National Weather Service website and some local weather reports.
Airport manager Pam Beharry says the weather station quit working following a power failure, and it’s currently out being repaired. In addition to providing the National Weather Service with data for Starke County, it’s also the closest NWS observation site to Marshall and Pulaski Counties.
