Which radars cover Beemer?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOAX (Omaha, NE), about 48 miles south-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 Beemer	View
KOAX Omaha, NE	48 mi south-southeast	3,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KFSD Sioux Falls, SD	115 mi north	11,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KUEX Hastings, NE	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.
