Which radars cover Wymore?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTWX (Topeka, KS), about 81 miles south-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 Wymore | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTWX Topeka, KS | 81 mi south-southeast | 7,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KOAX Omaha, NE | 84 mi north | 7,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KUEX Hastings, NE | 95 mi west | 8,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
