Which radars cover Inola?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KINX (Tulsa, OK), about 4 miles north. 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 Inola	View
KINX Tulsa, OK	4 mi north	200 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KSRX Fort Smith, AR	88 mi southeast	7,900 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KTLX Oklahoma City, OK	111 mi west-southwest	11,200 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.
