Which radars cover Enders?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGLD (Goodland, KS), about 76 miles south. 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 Enders | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGLD Goodland, KS | 76 mi south | 6,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLNX North Platte, NE | 115 mi north-northeast | 11,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KUEX Hastings, NE | 163 mi east | 20,800 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.
