BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) — Brookings still shows up on the weather map, but viewers have to look elsewhere for the temperature and other conditions.

The Brookings Register reports the Airport Weather Observing Station has been deactivated because of construction at the Brookings Regional Airport. And the airport manager says it could be out of commission up to a year.

The Federal Aviation Administration is also upgrading the weather station while it's down.
