Which radars cover Strang?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KUEX (Hastings, NE), about 45 miles west. 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 Strang | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KUEX Hastings, NE | 45 mi west | 3,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KOAX Omaha, NE | 89 mi northeast | 8,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTWX Topeka, KS | 122 mi southeast | 13,000 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.
