Which radars cover Hingham?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMKX (Milwaukee/Sullivan, WI), about 57 miles 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 Hingham | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMKX Milwaukee/Sullivan, WI | 57 mi southwest | 4,300 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |

| KGRR Grand Rapids, MI | 130 mi east-southeast | 14,500 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.
