Which radars cover Beulah?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KUDX (Rapid City, SD), about 68 miles east-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 Beulah | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KUDX Rapid City, SD | 68 mi east-southeast | 5,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KBIS Bismarck, ND | 222 mi northeast | 34,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KCYS Cheyenne, WY | 237 mi south | 39,100 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.
