Which radars cover Havana?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KINX (Tulsa, OK), about 67 miles south-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 Havana	View
KINX Tulsa, OK	67 mi south-southeast	5,300 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KICT Wichita, KS	91 mi west-northwest	8,400 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KVNX Vance AFB, OK	123 mi west	13,300 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.
