Which radars cover LaGrange?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCYS (Cheyenne, WY), about 47 miles southwest. 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 LaGrange | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCYS Cheyenne, WY | 47 mi southwest | 3,300 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KFTG Denver/Boulder, CO | 130 mi south | 14,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KUDX Rapid City, SD | 185 mi north-northeast | 25,500 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.
