Which radars cover Dibble?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 29 miles northeast. 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 Dibble | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 29 mi northeast | 1,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 89 mi west-southwest | 8,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 122 mi north-northwest | 13,100 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.
