Which radars cover Stockbridge?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDTX (Detroit, MI), about 40 miles east-northeast. 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 Stockbridge | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDTX Detroit, MI | 40 mi east-northeast | 2,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KGRR Grand Rapids, MI | 76 mi west-northwest | 6,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KIWX Fort Wayne, IN | 109 mi southwest | 10,900 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.
