Which radars cover Beverly?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTWX (Topeka, KS), about 94 miles east. 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 Beverly | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTWX Topeka, KS | 94 mi east | 8,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KUEX Hastings, NE | 94 mi north-northwest | 8,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KICT Wichita, KS | 98 mi south-southeast | 9,400 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.
