Which radars cover Bogard?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEAX (Kansas City, MO), about 60 miles 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 Bogard	View
KEAX Kansas City, MO	60 mi southwest	4,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KTWX Topeka, KS	148 mi west-southwest	17,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KSGF Springfield, MO	154 mi south	18,900 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.
