Which radars cover Granger?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDVN (Quad Cities, IA), about 107 miles 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 Granger | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDVN Quad Cities, IA | 107 mi northeast | 10,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KDMX Des Moines, IA | 126 mi northwest | 13,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLSX St. Louis, MO | 140 mi south-southeast | 16,300 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.
