Which radars cover St. Robert?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSGF (Springfield, MO), about 80 miles west-southwest. 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 St. Robert | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 80 mi west-southwest | 6,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLSX St. Louis, MO | 100 mi northeast | 9,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KEAX Kansas City, MO | 133 mi west-northwest | 15,000 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.
