Which radars cover Harvey?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMQT (Marquette, MI), about 10 miles west-northwest. 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 Harvey | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMQT Marquette, MI | 10 mi west-northwest | 500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KGRB Green Bay, WI | 142 mi south-southwest | 16,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KAPX Gaylord, MI | 168 mi southeast | 21,800 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.
