Which radars cover Raeville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOAX (Omaha, NE), about 96 miles east-southeast. 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 Raeville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOAX Omaha, NE | 96 mi east-southeast | 9,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KUEX Hastings, NE | 111 mi south | 11,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLNX North Platte, NE | 130 mi west | 14,400 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.
