Which radars cover Langston?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 41 miles south. 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 Langston | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 41 mi south | 2,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 73 mi northwest | 6,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 97 mi east | 9,200 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.
