Which radars cover Hammon?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFDR (Frederick, OK), about 91 miles south-southeast. 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 Hammon | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 91 mi south-southeast | 8,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 104 mi northeast | 10,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 120 mi east | 12,800 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.
