Which radars cover Cleora?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KINX (Tulsa, OK), about 45 miles southwest. 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 Cleora | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 45 mi southwest | 3,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
