Which radars cover New Bloomfield?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLSX (St. Louis, MO), about 76 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 New Bloomfield | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLSX St. Louis, MO | 76 mi east | 6,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KEAX Kansas City, MO | 117 mi west | 12,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 125 mi southwest | 13,500 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.
