Which radars cover Hendrix?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFWS (Dallas/Fort Worth, TX), about 98 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 Hendrix	View
KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX	98 mi south-southwest	9,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KTLX Oklahoma City, OK	119 mi north-northwest	12,500 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KFDR Frederick, OK	153 mi west-northwest	18,700 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.
