Which radars cover Correctionville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOAX (Omaha, NE), about 85 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 Correctionville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOAX Omaha, NE | 85 mi south-southwest | 7,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFSD Sioux Falls, SD | 90 mi north-northwest | 8,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDMX Des Moines, IA | 118 mi east-southeast | 12,300 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.
