Which radars cover Adamson?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSRX (Fort Smith, AR), about 72 miles east-northeast. 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 Adamson | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 72 mi east-northeast | 5,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
