Which radars cover Mylo?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMBX (Minot AFB, ND), about 59 miles west-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 Mylo | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMBX Minot AFB, ND | 59 mi west-southwest | 4,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMVX Grand Forks, ND | 131 mi southeast | 14,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KBIS Bismarck, ND | 139 mi south-southwest | 16,100 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.
