Which radars cover Jerico Springs?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSGF (Springfield, MO), about 43 miles 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 Jerico Springs | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 43 mi southeast | 2,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |

| KINX Tulsa, OK | 131 mi southwest | 14,700 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.
