Which radars cover Eland?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRB (Green Bay, WI), about 60 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 Eland	View
KGRB Green Bay, WI	60 mi east-southeast	4,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KARX La Crosse, WI	122 mi southwest	13,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KMKX Milwaukee/Sullivan, WI	135 mi south-southeast	15,400 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.
