Which radars cover Jetmore?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDDC (Dodge City, KS), about 16 miles south-southwest. 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 Jetmore	View
KDDC Dodge City, KS	16 mi south-southwest	900 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KVNX Vance AFB, OK	129 mi southeast	14,300 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KICT Wichita, KS	135 mi east	15,400 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.
