Which radars cover Fox?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLZK (Little Rock, AR), about 66 miles south. 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 Fox | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 66 mi south | 5,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 117 mi north-northwest | 12,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 121 mi west-southwest | 12,900 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.
