Which radars cover Bokoshe?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSRX (Fort Smith, AR), about 25 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 Bokoshe	View
KSRX Fort Smith, AR	25 mi east-northeast	1,500 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KINX Tulsa, OK	81 mi north-northwest	7,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KTLX Oklahoma City, OK	141 mi west	16,400 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.
