Which radars cover Omaha?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSHV (Shreveport, LA), about 73 miles 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 Omaha	View
KSHV Shreveport, LA	73 mi southeast	6,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KSRX Fort Smith, AR	147 mi north	17,600 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX	155 mi west-southwest	19,100 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.
