Which radars cover Wynot?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFSD (Sioux Falls, SD), about 63 miles north-northeast. 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 Wynot	View
KFSD Sioux Falls, SD	63 mi north-northeast	4,900 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KOAX Omaha, NE	106 mi south-southeast	10,600 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KUEX Hastings, NE	180 mi south-southwest	24,400 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.
