Which radars cover Meyer?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLSX (St. Louis, MO), about 109 miles south-southeast. 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 Meyer	View
KLSX St. Louis, MO	109 mi south-southeast	11,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KDVN Quad Cities, IA	112 mi north-northeast	11,400 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KILX Lincoln, IL	114 mi east	11,800 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.
