Which radars cover Ebro?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMVX (Grand Forks, ND), about 83 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 Ebro | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMVX Grand Forks, ND | 83 mi west | 7,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDLH Duluth, MN | 163 mi east-southeast | 20,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KABR Aberdeen, SD | 196 mi southwest | 28,300 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.
