Which radars cover Manter?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDDC (Dodge City, KS), about 106 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 Manter	View
KDDC Dodge City, KS	106 mi east	10,500 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KGLD Goodland, KS	128 mi north	14,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KPUX Pueblo, CO	141 mi west-northwest	16,400 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.
