Which radars cover Marble?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDLH (Duluth, MN), about 61 miles east-southeast. 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 Marble | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDLH Duluth, MN | 61 mi east-southeast | 4,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMPX Minneapolis, MN | 172 mi south | 22,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMVX Grand Forks, ND | 189 mi west | 26,600 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.
