Which radars cover New Florence?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLSX (St. Louis, MO), about 44 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 New Florence	View
KLSX St. Louis, MO	44 mi east-southeast	3,000 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KILX Lincoln, IL	142 mi northeast	16,600 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KEAX Kansas City, MO	151 mi west	18,400 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.
