Which radars cover Grayhawk?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLSX (St. Louis, MO), about 58 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 Grayhawk | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLSX St. Louis, MO | 58 mi north-northwest | 4,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KPAH Paducah, KY | 100 mi southeast | 9,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KVWX Evansville, IN | 139 mi east | 16,000 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.
