Which radars cover Belpre?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDDC (Dodge City, KS), about 49 miles west-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 Belpre	View
KDDC Dodge City, KS	49 mi west-southwest	3,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KICT Wichita, KS	93 mi east-southeast	8,600 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KVNX Vance AFB, OK	99 mi south-southeast	9,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
