Which radars cover Jasper?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSGF (Springfield, MO), about 50 miles east. 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 Jasper	View
KSGF Springfield, MO	50 mi east	3,600 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KEAX Kansas City, MO	102 mi north	9,900 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KINX Tulsa, OK	106 mi southwest	10,600 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.
