Which radars cover Everly?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFSD (Sioux Falls, SD), about 77 miles west-northwest. 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 Everly | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFSD Sioux Falls, SD | 77 mi west-northwest | 6,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDMX Des Moines, IA | 128 mi southeast | 14,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KOAX Omaha, NE | 138 mi south-southwest | 15,900 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.
