Which radars cover Inland?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KUEX (Hastings, NE), about 22 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 Inland | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KUEX Hastings, NE | 22 mi south-southwest | 1,300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KOAX Omaha, NE | 109 mi east-northeast | 11,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KTWX Topeka, KS | 153 mi southeast | 18,700 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.
