Which radars cover Uniontown?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEAX (Kansas City, MO), about 77 miles north-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 Uniontown | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEAX Kansas City, MO | 77 mi north-northeast | 6,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 96 mi east-southeast | 9,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTWX Topeka, KS | 105 mi northwest | 10,300 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.
