Which radars cover Boyceville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMPX (Minneapolis, MN), about 76 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 Boyceville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMPX Minneapolis, MN | 76 mi west | 6,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KARX La Crosse, WI | 94 mi south-southeast | 8,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDLH Duluth, MN | 124 mi north | 13,400 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.
