Which radars cover Sheridan?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDMX (Des Moines, IA), about 96 miles north-northeast. 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 Sheridan | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDMX Des Moines, IA | 96 mi north-northeast | 9,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KOAX Omaha, NE | 107 mi west-northwest | 10,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KEAX Kansas City, MO | 119 mi south | 12,600 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.
