Which radars cover Grant?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSRX (Fort Smith, AR), about 114 miles 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 Grant | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 114 mi northeast | 11,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 139 mi northwest | 16,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 140 mi southwest | 16,200 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.
