Which radars cover Grand View?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDLH (Duluth, MN), about 62 miles west-northwest. 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 Grand View | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDLH Duluth, MN | 62 mi west-northwest | 4,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMPX Minneapolis, MN | 159 mi southwest | 19,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMQT Marquette, MI | 170 mi east | 22,200 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.
