Which radars cover Spring Green?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KARX (La Crosse, WI), about 72 miles northwest. 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 Spring Green | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KARX La Crosse, WI | 72 mi northwest | 5,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMKX Milwaukee/Sullivan, WI | 78 mi east | 6,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDVN Quad Cities, IA | 111 mi south-southwest | 11,300 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.
