Which radars cover Lequire?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSRX (Fort Smith, AR), about 44 miles east-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 Lequire | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 44 mi east-northeast | 3,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 78 mi north-northwest | 6,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 123 mi west | 13,300 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.
