Which radars cover Pembine?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMQT (Marquette, MI), about 65 miles north-northeast. 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 Pembine | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMQT Marquette, MI | 65 mi north-northeast | 5,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KGRB Green Bay, WI | 79 mi south | 6,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KAPX Gaylord, MI | 167 mi east-southeast | 21,600 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.
