Which radars cover Jolmaville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDLH (Duluth, MN), about 75 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 Jolmaville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDLH Duluth, MN | 75 mi west-northwest | 6,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KMQT Marquette, MI | 153 mi east | 18,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMPX Minneapolis, MN | 175 mi southwest | 23,300 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.
