Which radars cover De Tour Village?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KAPX (Gaylord, MI), about 85 miles south-southwest. 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 De Tour Village | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KAPX Gaylord, MI | 85 mi south-southwest | 7,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KMQT Marquette, MI | 177 mi west-northwest | 23,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KDTX Detroit, MI | 229 mi south | 36,700 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.
