Which radars cover Baldwin Park?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEAX (Kansas City, MO), about 1 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 Baldwin Park | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEAX Kansas City, MO | 1 mi northwest | 100 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KTWX Topeka, KS | 108 mi west | 10,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 117 mi south-southeast | 12,300 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.
