Which radars cover Ewing?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLNX (North Platte, NE), about 116 miles west. 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 Ewing | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLNX North Platte, NE | 116 mi west | 12,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KOAX Omaha, NE | 121 mi east-southeast | 12,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFSD Sioux Falls, SD | 123 mi northeast | 13,200 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.
