Which radars cover Humphreys?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEAX (Kansas City, MO), about 104 miles south-southwest. 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 Humphreys | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEAX Kansas City, MO | 104 mi south-southwest | 10,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KDMX Des Moines, IA | 113 mi north | 11,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLSX St. Louis, MO | 172 mi southeast | 22,700 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.
