KMQT is the NEXRAD WSR-88D weather radar for Marquette in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The antenna stands at Negaunee, about 12 km west of Marquette, and the National Weather Service runs it from its Marquette forecast office at 112 Airpark Drive South in Negaunee. Ishpeming is about 10 km to the west-south-west.
The NWS Radar Operations Center names the station Marquette and lists the radar site as Negaunee. NCEI's station inventory carries Marquette as the principal name and Negaunee as an alias, with WBAN number 94850, and dates its record from February 1996. Wikipedia's list of NEXRAD sites gives a data start of October 1995 and places the site in Marquette County.
Radar shows rain, snow and hail, not cloud, and nothing below its lowest beam; far from the antenna the beam passes high above the ground.
