Which radars cover Maitland?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOAX (Omaha, NE), about 103 miles northwest. 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 Maitland	View
KOAX Omaha, NE	103 mi northwest	10,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KTWX Topeka, KS	104 mi southwest	10,100 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KEAX Kansas City, MO	106 mi south-southeast	10,400 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.
