Which radars cover Grand Lake Towne?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KINX (Tulsa, OK), about 38 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 Grand Lake Towne | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 38 mi southwest | 2,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 92 mi south-southeast | 8,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 103 mi east-northeast | 10,100 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.
