Which radars cover Vienna?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLSX (St. Louis, MO), about 77 miles east-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 Vienna	View
KLSX St. Louis, MO	77 mi east-northeast	6,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KSGF Springfield, MO	103 mi southwest	10,100 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KEAX Kansas City, MO	132 mi west-northwest	14,800 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.
