Which radars cover New Hampton?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEAX (Kansas City, MO), about 101 miles south. 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 Hampton | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEAX Kansas City, MO | 101 mi south | 9,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDMX Des Moines, IA | 104 mi north-northeast | 10,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KOAX Omaha, NE | 135 mi west-northwest | 15,300 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.
