Which radars cover Warren?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMVX (Grand Forks, ND), about 53 miles south-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 Warren | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMVX Grand Forks, ND | 53 mi south-southwest | 3,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMBX Minot AFB, ND | 189 mi west | 26,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KABR Aberdeen, SD | 205 mi south-southwest | 30,300 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.
