Which radars cover Correll?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KABR (Aberdeen, SD), about 110 miles west. 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 Correll | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KABR Aberdeen, SD | 110 mi west | 11,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFSD Sioux Falls, SD | 117 mi south-southwest | 12,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMPX Minneapolis, MN | 130 mi east | 14,400 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.
