Which radars cover Aniwa?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRB (Green Bay, WI), about 64 miles east-southeast. 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 Aniwa | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGRB Green Bay, WI | 64 mi east-southeast | 5,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KARX La Crosse, WI | 128 mi southwest | 14,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMQT Marquette, MI | 132 mi northeast | 14,800 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.
