Which radars cover Bland?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLSX (St. Louis, MO), about 58 miles east-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 Bland	View
KLSX St. Louis, MO	58 mi east-northeast	4,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KSGF Springfield, MO	121 mi southwest	13,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KEAX Kansas City, MO	146 mi west-northwest	17,500 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.
