Which radars cover Belgrade?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KUEX (Hastings, NE), about 82 miles south-southwest. 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 Belgrade | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KUEX Hastings, NE | 82 mi south-southwest | 7,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KOAX Omaha, NE | 89 mi east | 8,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLNX North Platte, NE | 134 mi west-northwest | 15,100 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.
