Which radars cover Cimarron City?

| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Cimarron City | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 43 mi south-southeast | 2,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |

| KINX Tulsa, OK | 116 mi east | 12,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
