Which radars cover Bridgeport?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 64 miles east-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 Bridgeport | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 64 mi east-southeast | 5,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 84 mi north | 7,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 89 mi south-southwest | 8,000 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.
