Which radars cover Harmony?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KARX (La Crosse, WI), about 45 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 Harmony | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KARX La Crosse, WI | 45 mi east-northeast | 3,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMPX Minneapolis, MN | 118 mi northwest | 12,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KDVN Quad Cities, IA | 153 mi south-southeast | 18,700 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.
