Which radars cover Wilmore?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDDC (Dodge City, KS), about 51 miles 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 Wilmore	View
KDDC Dodge City, KS	51 mi northwest	3,600 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KVNX Vance AFB, OK	72 mi southeast	6,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KICT Wichita, KS	99 mi east-northeast	9,500 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.
