Which radars cover Davenport?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 39 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 Davenport | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 39 mi southwest | 2,500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 74 mi east-northeast | 6,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 104 mi northwest | 10,200 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.
