Which radars cover Halltown?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSGF (Springfield, MO), about 13 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 Halltown | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 13 mi east-northeast | 700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KEAX Kansas City, MO | 117 mi north-northwest | 12,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 128 mi west-southwest | 14,100 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.
