Which radars cover Peshtigo?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRB (Green Bay, WI), about 43 miles south-southwest. 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 Peshtigo | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGRB Green Bay, WI | 43 mi south-southwest | 2,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KMQT Marquette, MI | 102 mi north | 9,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KAPX Gaylord, MI | 148 mi east | 17,800 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.
