Which radars cover Lakewood?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRB (Green Bay, WI), about 59 miles south-southeast. 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 Lakewood | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGRB Green Bay, WI | 59 mi south-southeast | 4,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMQT Marquette, MI | 97 mi north-northeast | 9,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KMKX Milwaukee/Sullivan, WI | 161 mi south | 20,400 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.
