Which radars cover Menominee?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRB (Green Bay, WI), about 49 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 Menominee | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGRB Green Bay, WI | 49 mi south-southwest | 3,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMQT Marquette, MI | 97 mi north | 9,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KAPX Gaylord, MI | 143 mi east | 16,700 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.
