Which radars cover Forestville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRB (Green Bay, WI), about 34 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 Forestville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGRB Green Bay, WI | 34 mi west-southwest | 2,100 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KMQT Marquette, MI | 127 mi north | 14,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMKX Milwaukee/Sullivan, WI | 131 mi south-southwest | 14,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
