Which radars cover Dill City?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFDR (Frederick, OK), about 64 miles south. 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 Dill City | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 64 mi south | 5,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
