Which radars cover Allendale?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDMX (Des Moines, IA), about 91 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 Allendale | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDMX Des Moines, IA | 91 mi north-northeast | 8,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KEAX Kansas City, MO | 116 mi south | 12,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KOAX Omaha, NE | 123 mi west-northwest | 13,200 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.
