Which radars cover Hoxie?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGLD (Goodland, KS), about 67 miles west. 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 Hoxie	View
KGLD Goodland, KS	67 mi west	5,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KDDC Dodge City, KS	113 mi south-southeast	11,600 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KUEX Hastings, NE	125 mi east-northeast	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.
