Which radars cover Grygla?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMVX (Grand Forks, ND), about 95 miles west-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 Grygla | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMVX Grand Forks, ND | 95 mi west-southwest | 8,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDLH Duluth, MN | 189 mi east-southeast | 26,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KABR Aberdeen, SD | 237 mi southwest | 38,900 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.
