Which radars cover Mansfield?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSRX (Fort Smith, AR), about 17 miles north-northwest. 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 Mansfield	View
KSRX Fort Smith, AR	17 mi north-northwest	900 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KINX Tulsa, OK	107 mi northwest	10,700 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KLZK Little Rock, AR	113 mi east	11,600 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.
