Which radars cover Hominy?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KINX (Tulsa, OK), about 49 miles east-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 Hominy | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 49 mi east-southeast | 3,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 90 mi south-southwest | 8,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 99 mi west-northwest | 9,400 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.
