Which radars cover Haswell?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPUX (Pueblo, CO), about 55 miles west. 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 Haswell	View
KPUX Pueblo, CO	55 mi west	4,000 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KGLD Goodland, KS	101 mi northeast	9,800 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KFTG Denver/Boulder, CO	118 mi northwest	12,400 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.
