Which radars cover Asher?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 31 miles 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 Asher | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 31 mi northwest | 1,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 112 mi northeast | 11,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 124 mi west-southwest | 13,500 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.
