Which radars cover Eudora?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEAX (Kansas City, MO), about 45 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 Eudora | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEAX Kansas City, MO | 45 mi east | 3,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |

| KSGF Springfield, MO | 149 mi southeast | 18,000 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.
