Which radars cover Gandy?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLNX (North Platte, NE), about 34 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 Gandy	View
KLNX North Platte, NE	34 mi north	2,200 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KUEX Hastings, NE	132 mi southeast	14,800 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KGLD Goodland, KS	159 mi south-southwest	20,000 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.
