Which radars cover Fulton?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLSX (St. Louis, MO), about 69 miles east. 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 Fulton	View
KLSX St. Louis, MO	69 mi east	5,600 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KEAX Kansas City, MO	125 mi west	13,500 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KSGF Springfield, MO	137 mi southwest	15,700 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.
