Which radars cover Earlsboro?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 27 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 Earlsboro | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 27 mi west | 1,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 91 mi northeast | 8,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 122 mi 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.
