Which radars cover St. Paul?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KINX (Tulsa, OK), about 95 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 St. Paul | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 95 mi south-southwest | 8,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 99 mi east | 9,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KEAX Kansas City, MO | 102 mi north-northeast | 9,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
