Which radars cover Binger?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 60 miles east. 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 Binger | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 60 mi east | 4,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 75 mi south-southwest | 6,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 100 mi north | 9,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
