Which radars cover Table Rock?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOAX (Omaha, NE), about 80 miles north. 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 Table Rock | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOAX Omaha, NE | 80 mi north | 6,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTWX Topeka, KS | 82 mi south | 7,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KUEX Hastings, NE | 125 mi west | 13,500 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.
