Which radars cover Brushy?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSRX (Fort Smith, AR), about 29 miles 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 Brushy | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 29 mi southeast | 1,700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 62 mi northwest | 4,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 138 mi north-northeast | 15,800 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.
