Which radars cover Green Ridge?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEAX (Kansas City, MO), about 48 miles west-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 Green Ridge | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEAX Kansas City, MO | 48 mi west-northwest | 3,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 96 mi south | 9,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLSX St. Louis, MO | 147 mi east | 17,600 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.
