Which radars cover New Holstein?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRB (Green Bay, WI), about 38 miles north. 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 New Holstein | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGRB Green Bay, WI | 38 mi north | 2,500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KMKX Milwaukee/Sullivan, WI | 72 mi south-southwest | 5,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KGRR Grand Rapids, MI | 147 mi east-southeast | 17,600 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.
