Which radars cover Fletcher?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFDR (Frederick, OK), about 53 miles southwest. 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 Fletcher	View
KFDR Frederick, OK	53 mi southwest	3,900 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KTLX Oklahoma City, OK	64 mi east-northeast	5,000 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KVNX Vance AFB, OK	133 mi north	14,900 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.
