NWS Radars don't predict storms, they're observational tools only. It's similar to how a rain gauge doesn't make a forecast, it only tells us what's going on. Many different weather apps out there ingest NWS radar data, then merge the observational data into model forecasts.

To add a little more context to this, one thing to remember is that hi-res model forecasts in the summer can be prone to more error. Why? One reason is that the atmospheric processes which form storms is more unpredictable compared to fall/winter time setups.
