Which radars cover Humansville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSGF (Springfield, MO), about 40 miles south-southeast. 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 Humansville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 40 mi south-southeast | 2,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KEAX Kansas City, MO | 79 mi north-northwest | 6,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 157 mi southwest | 19,500 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.
