Which radars cover Shiocton?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRB (Green Bay, WI), about 23 miles east. 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 Shiocton | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGRB Green Bay, WI | 23 mi east | 1,300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KMKX Milwaukee/Sullivan, WI | 102 mi south | 9,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KARX La Crosse, WI | 137 mi west-southwest | 15,600 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.
