Which radars cover Hobart?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRB (Green Bay, WI), about 2 miles east. 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 Hobart | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGRB Green Bay, WI | 2 mi east | 100 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KMKX Milwaukee/Sullivan, WI | 107 mi south | 10,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMQT Marquette, MI | 144 mi north-northeast | 16,900 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.
