Which radars cover Kewaunee?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRB (Green Bay, WI), about 29 miles west. 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 Kewaunee | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGRB Green Bay, WI | 29 mi west | 1,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KMKX Milwaukee/Sullivan, WI | 115 mi south-southwest | 12,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KAPX Gaylord, MI | 141 mi east-northeast | 16,400 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.
