Which radars cover Sebewaing?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDTX (Detroit, MI), about 71 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 Sebewaing | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDTX Detroit, MI | 71 mi south | 5,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
