Which radars cover Eustis?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KUEX (Hastings, NE), about 87 miles east-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 Eustis | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KUEX Hastings, NE | 87 mi east-southeast | 7,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLNX North Platte, NE | 94 mi north-northwest | 8,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KGLD Goodland, KS | 126 mi southwest | 13,700 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.
