Which radars cover Hartville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSGF (Springfield, MO), about 49 miles west. 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 Hartville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 49 mi west | 3,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
