Which radars cover Withee?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KARX (La Crosse, WI), about 83 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 Withee | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KARX La Crosse, WI | 83 mi south-southwest | 7,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KGRB Green Bay, WI | 126 mi east-southeast | 13,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMPX Minneapolis, MN | 145 mi west | 17,300 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.
