Which radars cover Zoar?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRB (Green Bay, WI), about 51 miles southeast. 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 Zoar | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGRB Green Bay, WI | 51 mi southeast | 3,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMQT Marquette, MI | 123 mi north-northeast | 13,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KARX La Crosse, WI | 141 mi southwest | 16,300 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.
