Which radars cover Green?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTWX (Topeka, KS), about 51 miles 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 Green	View
KTWX Topeka, KS	51 mi southeast	3,600 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KUEX Hastings, NE	98 mi northwest	9,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KICT Wichita, KS	125 mi south	13,600 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.
