Which radars cover Baron?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSRX (Fort Smith, AR), about 47 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 Baron	View
KSRX Fort Smith, AR	47 mi south-southeast	3,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KINX Tulsa, OK	56 mi west-northwest	4,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KSGF Springfield, MO	112 mi northeast	11,400 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.
