Which radars cover Hubbard?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMVX (Grand Forks, ND), about 119 miles west-northwest. 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 Hubbard | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMVX Grand Forks, ND | 119 mi west-northwest | 12,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KDLH Duluth, MN | 132 mi east | 14,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMPX Minneapolis, MN | 154 mi south-southeast | 19,000 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.
