Which radars cover Tustin?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRB (Green Bay, WI), about 45 miles east-northeast. 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 Tustin | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGRB Green Bay, WI | 45 mi east-northeast | 3,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMKX Milwaukee/Sullivan, WI | 85 mi south-southeast | 7,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KARX La Crosse, WI | 117 mi west | 12,200 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.
