Which radars cover Addington?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFDR (Frederick, OK), about 58 miles west. 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 Addington | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 58 mi west | 4,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 85 mi north-northeast | 7,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 122 mi south-southeast | 13,000 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.
