Which radars cover Mayville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDTX (Detroit, MI), about 44 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 Mayville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDTX Detroit, MI | 44 mi south | 3,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KGRR Grand Rapids, MI | 115 mi west-southwest | 11,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KAPX Gaylord, MI | 128 mi north-northwest | 14,100 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.
