Which radars cover Centrahoma?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 73 miles northwest. 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 Centrahoma | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 73 mi northwest | 6,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 117 mi north-northeast | 12,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 122 mi east-northeast | 13,000 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.
