Which radars cover Duquesne?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSGF (Springfield, MO), about 59 miles east-northeast. 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 Duquesne	View
KSGF Springfield, MO	59 mi east-northeast	4,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KINX Tulsa, OK	87 mi southwest	7,800 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KEAX Kansas City, MO	121 mi north	12,800 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.
