Which radars cover Cromwell?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 46 miles west. 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 Cromwell | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 46 mi west | 3,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 76 mi northeast | 6,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 118 mi east | 12,500 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.
