Which radars cover Weingarten?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLSX (St. Louis, MO), about 61 miles north-northwest. 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 Weingarten | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLSX St. Louis, MO | 61 mi north-northwest | 4,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KPAH Paducah, KY | 97 mi southeast | 9,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KVWX Evansville, IN | 138 mi east-northeast | 15,900 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.
