Which radars cover Mulberry?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSRX (Fort Smith, AR), about 22 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 Mulberry | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 22 mi southwest | 1,300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 95 mi west-northwest | 8,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 112 mi east-southeast | 11,500 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.
