Which radars cover Goehner?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOAX (Omaha, NE), about 56 miles northeast. 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 Goehner	View
KOAX Omaha, NE	56 mi northeast	4,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KUEX Hastings, NE	73 mi west-southwest	6,100 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KTWX Topeka, KS	137 mi south-southeast	15,700 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.
