Which radars cover Hartshorne?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSRX (Fort Smith, AR), about 75 miles east-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 Hartshorne | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 75 mi east-northeast | 6,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 92 mi north | 8,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 103 mi west-northwest | 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.
