LES on radar?

[snow_chaser]

Wasn't sure to post this here or in Ask John. But, anyways, I know the Huron mtns. interfere with radar returns in the Keweenaw. What radar(can you provide link) is best for viewing precip. in this area? My main focus is tracking bands of LES coming off of L.Superior. I will include a specific area,or two, for precision and to avoid confusion. Let's say, Houghton, and Lac la Belle. Thank you.

There isn't any good one. The only radar in the area is that in the Marquette area and it is blocked out by some hills just to the northwest of the radar site (actually not the Huron Mountains that does the blocking).

Thunder Bay

Just wondering why the radar out of Thunder Bay, will not pick up radar reflections. Is this site too far away from the Keweenaw?

I see the weather network's radar at Thunder Bay, ON shows weather all the way to the east end of Lake Superior, up to Batchwana Bay, ON (50 km/31 miles N of Sault Ste. Marie, ON). But not any LES on the Keweenaw peninsula?

This link shows the radar coverage from TBay. Though the coverage shows Keew, its to great a distance, esp for LES. I believe your pic is a combination of 2 radars and the images seen are actually picked up the from Montreal River station, just N of the Soo

Good call, chords, probably very true. It looks like the distance from the Thunder Bay radar site to most of the Keweenaw is about 200km (125 miles).
