Which radars cover Creighton?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEAX (Kansas City, MO), about 24 miles north-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 Creighton	View
KEAX Kansas City, MO	24 mi north-northwest	1,400 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KSGF Springfield, MO	95 mi south-southeast	8,800 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KTWX Topeka, KS	121 mi west-northwest	13,000 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.
