Which radars cover Hague?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBIS (Bismarck, ND), about 63 miles northwest. 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 Hague | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBIS Bismarck, ND | 63 mi northwest | 4,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KABR Aberdeen, SD | 86 mi east-southeast | 7,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KMVX Grand Forks, ND | 164 mi northeast | 20,900 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.
