Default FAA "Centers" have primary radar?

In another thread I am in a discussion on radar capability for FAA
"Centers". My recollection is that they typically have no primary
radar, thus no capability to paint weather.


There is no connection whatever between 'primary radar' and 'weather
radar'.

The ability to detect storm clouds is related purely to the wavelength
of the radar transmission. A radar that was swamped by cloud returns
would be utterly useless as a primary radar !
