Which radars cover Fullerton?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KUEX (Hastings, NE), about 76 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 Fullerton | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KUEX Hastings, NE | 76 mi south-southwest | 6,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KOAX Omaha, NE | 83 mi east | 7,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLNX North Platte, NE | 141 mi west-northwest | 16,300 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.
