Which radars cover Dovray?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFSD (Sioux Falls, SD), about 67 miles west-southwest. 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 Dovray | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFSD Sioux Falls, SD | 67 mi west-southwest | 5,300 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMPX Minneapolis, MN | 112 mi east-northeast | 11,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KABR Aberdeen, SD | 171 mi northwest | 22,400 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.
