Which radars cover Westboro?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KARX (La Crosse, WI), about 115 miles south-southwest. 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 Westboro	View
KARX La Crosse, WI	115 mi south-southwest	11,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KGRB Green Bay, WI	122 mi east-southeast	13,100 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KDLH Duluth, MN	137 mi northwest	15,700 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.
