Which radars cover Algoma?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRB (Green Bay, WI), about 33 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 Algoma | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGRB Green Bay, WI | 33 mi west-southwest | 2,100 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KMKX Milwaukee/Sullivan, WI | 126 mi south-southwest | 13,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMQT Marquette, MI | 133 mi north | 15,000 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.
