Which radars cover Pease?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMPX (Minneapolis, MN), about 59 miles south. 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 Pease	View
KMPX Minneapolis, MN	59 mi south	4,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KDLH Duluth, MN	104 mi northeast	10,300 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KARX La Crosse, WI	177 mi southeast	23,900 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.
