Which radars cover Harrah?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 11 miles south-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 Harrah | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 11 mi south-southwest | 600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 102 mi north-northwest | 10,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 103 mi east-northeast | 10,000 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.
