What they do is 'lift' the atmosphere which stalls high pressure zones from moving. Storms always go the easiest path around so if they can block storms in certain areas they can target long term drought however even the best machines break down so then you get all sorts of wild # happen when this occurs. I read somewhere September/Oct is usually maintenance time for these machines which is why we have wild swings. The SBX radars tend to have more maintenance during that time.
