Which radars cover De Witt?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEAX (Kansas City, MO), about 69 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 De Witt | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEAX Kansas City, MO | 69 mi southwest | 5,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLSX St. Louis, MO | 144 mi east-southeast | 17,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 149 mi south | 17,900 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.
