Which radars cover Eskridge?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTWX (Topeka, KS), about 12 miles 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 Eskridge	View
KTWX Topeka, KS	12 mi northwest	600 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KEAX Kansas City, MO	99 mi east	9,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KICT Wichita, KS	110 mi southwest	11,200 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.
