Which radars cover Patch Grove?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KARX (La Crosse, WI), about 62 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 Patch Grove | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KARX La Crosse, WI | 62 mi north | 4,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KDVN Quad Cities, IA | 94 mi south-southeast | 8,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KMKX Milwaukee/Sullivan, WI | 123 mi east | 13,100 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.
