Which radars cover Huntsville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEAX (Kansas City, MO), about 102 miles west-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 Huntsville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEAX Kansas City, MO | 102 mi west-southwest | 9,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLSX St. Louis, MO | 112 mi east-southeast | 11,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 159 mi south-southwest | 20,000 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.
