Which radars cover Fay?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVNX (Vance AFB, OK), about 70 miles north-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 Fay	View
KVNX Vance AFB, OK	70 mi north-northeast	5,700 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KTLX Oklahoma City, OK	84 mi east-southeast	7,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KFDR Frederick, OK	102 mi south	9,900 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
