Which radars cover Hulett?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KUDX (Rapid City, SD), about 95 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 Hulett | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KUDX Rapid City, SD | 95 mi east-southeast | 9,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBLX Billings, MT | 211 mi west-northwest | 32,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KRIW Riverton, WY | 223 mi west-southwest | 35,200 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.
