Which radars cover Winona?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGLD (Goodland, KS), about 32 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 Winona	View
KGLD Goodland, KS	32 mi northwest	2,000 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KDDC Dodge City, KS	113 mi southeast	11,600 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KPUX Pueblo, CO	164 mi west-southwest	20,900 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.
