Which radars cover Sublette?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDDC (Dodge City, KS), about 52 miles east-northeast. 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 Sublette	View
KDDC Dodge City, KS	52 mi east-northeast	3,700 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KGLD Goodland, KS	138 mi north-northwest	15,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KVNX Vance AFB, OK	158 mi east-southeast	19,800 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.
