Which radars cover Mokane?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLSX (St. Louis, MO), about 64 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 Mokane | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLSX St. Louis, MO | 64 mi east | 5,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KEAX Kansas City, MO | 129 mi west | 14,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 130 mi southwest | 14,400 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.
