Which radars cover Calumet?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 51 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 Calumet | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 51 mi east-southeast | 3,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 79 mi north | 6,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 98 mi south-southwest | 9,400 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.
