Which radars cover Easton?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEAX (Kansas City, MO), about 66 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 Easton	View
KEAX Kansas City, MO	66 mi south-southeast	5,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KTWX Topeka, KS	99 mi west-southwest	9,400 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KOAX Omaha, NE	143 mi northwest	16,800 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.
