Which radars cover Umber View Heights?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSGF (Springfield, MO), about 35 miles 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 Umber View Heights | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 35 mi southeast | 2,200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |

| KINX Tulsa, OK | 140 mi southwest | 16,200 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.
