Which radars cover Bosworth?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEAX (Kansas City, MO), about 67 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 Bosworth | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEAX Kansas City, MO | 67 mi southwest | 5,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLSX St. Louis, MO | 152 mi east-southeast | 18,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 154 mi south | 19,000 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.
