Which radars cover Clearmont?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOAX (Omaha, NE), about 89 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 Clearmont | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOAX Omaha, NE | 89 mi northwest | 8,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDMX Des Moines, IA | 109 mi northeast | 10,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KTWX Topeka, KS | 122 mi south-southwest | 13,100 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.
