Which radars cover Morland?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGLD (Goodland, KS), about 87 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 Morland | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGLD Goodland, KS | 87 mi west | 7,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KUEX Hastings, NE | 110 mi northeast | 11,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KDDC Dodge City, KS | 110 mi south | 11,100 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.
