Which radars cover New Baltimore?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDTX (Detroit, MI), about 37 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 New Baltimore | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDTX Detroit, MI | 37 mi west | 2,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 99 mi south-southeast | 9,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KGRR Grand Rapids, MI | 143 mi west | 16,800 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.
