Which radars cover Eagle?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOAX (Omaha, NE), about 35 miles north. 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 Eagle | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOAX Omaha, NE | 35 mi north | 2,200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KUEX Hastings, NE | 111 mi west-southwest | 11,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KTWX Topeka, KS | 126 mi south | 13,800 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.
