Which radars cover Summersville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSGF (Springfield, MO), about 96 miles west. 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 Summersville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 96 mi west | 9,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLSX St. Louis, MO | 118 mi north-northeast | 12,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KPAH Paducah, KY | 159 mi east | 20,000 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.
