Which radars cover Pulcifer?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRB (Green Bay, WI), about 27 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 Pulcifer | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGRB Green Bay, WI | 27 mi south-southeast | 1,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KMQT Marquette, MI | 123 mi north-northeast | 13,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMKX Milwaukee/Sullivan, WI | 130 mi south | 14,500 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.
