Which radars cover Middle Grove?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLSX (St. Louis, MO), about 98 miles east-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 Middle Grove | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLSX St. Louis, MO | 98 mi east-southeast | 9,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KEAX Kansas City, MO | 114 mi west-southwest | 11,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 161 mi south-southwest | 20,500 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.
