Which radars cover Grove?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KINX (Tulsa, OK), about 52 miles west-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 Grove | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 52 mi west-southwest | 3,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 89 mi east-northeast | 8,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 93 mi south-southeast | 8,600 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.
