Which radars cover Inman?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLNX (North Platte, NE), about 109 miles west-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 Inman | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLNX North Platte, NE | 109 mi west-southwest | 10,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFSD Sioux Falls, SD | 123 mi northeast | 13,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KOAX Omaha, NE | 133 mi east-southeast | 15,000 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.
