Which radars cover Agency Village?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KABR (Aberdeen, SD), about 66 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 Agency Village | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KABR Aberdeen, SD | 66 mi west | 5,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMVX Grand Forks, ND | 135 mi north | 15,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFSD Sioux Falls, SD | 139 mi south | 16,000 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.
