Which radars cover Munden?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KUEX (Hastings, NE), about 55 miles west-northwest. 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 Munden | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KUEX Hastings, NE | 55 mi west-northwest | 4,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KTWX Topeka, KS | 94 mi southeast | 8,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KOAX Omaha, NE | 115 mi north-northeast | 11,900 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.
