Which radars cover Marshall?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is PABC (Bethel, AK), about 76 miles south. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.
| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Marshall | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| PABC Bethel, AK | 76 mi south | 6,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| PAEC Nome, AK | 208 mi north-northwest | 31,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| PAKC King Salmon, AK | 289 mi southeast | 55,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
