Which radars cover Del City?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 12 miles southeast. 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 Del City | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 12 mi southeast | 600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 97 mi north-northwest | 9,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 115 mi southwest | 11,900 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.
