Which radars cover Corunna?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIWX (Fort Wayne, IN), about 29 miles west. 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 Corunna | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIWX Fort Wayne, IN | 29 mi west | 1,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KGRR Grand Rapids, MI | 103 mi north-northwest | 10,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KDTX Detroit, MI | 122 mi northeast | 13,100 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.
