Which radars cover Clyde?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEAX (Kansas City, MO), about 103 miles south-southeast. 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 Clyde | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEAX Kansas City, MO | 103 mi south-southeast | 10,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KDMX Des Moines, IA | 113 mi north-northeast | 11,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KOAX Omaha, NE | 115 mi northwest | 11,900 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.
