Which radars cover Seymour?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KARX (La Crosse, WI), about 70 miles south. 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 Seymour | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KARX La Crosse, WI | 70 mi south | 5,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMPX Minneapolis, MN | 104 mi west | 10,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KDLH Duluth, MN | 144 mi north-northwest | 17,100 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.
