Which radars cover Leonard?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KINX (Tulsa, OK), about 22 miles 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 Leonard | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 22 mi northeast | 1,200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 92 mi east-southeast | 8,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 92 mi west-southwest | 8,500 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.
