Which radars cover Egeland?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMBX (Minot AFB, ND), about 82 miles west. 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 Egeland | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMBX Minot AFB, ND | 82 mi west | 7,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KMVX Grand Forks, ND | 112 mi southeast | 11,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KBIS Bismarck, ND | 150 mi south-southwest | 18,100 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.
