Which radars cover Liberty?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSRX (Fort Smith, AR), about 16 miles 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 Liberty	View
KSRX Fort Smith, AR	16 mi southeast	800 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KINX Tulsa, OK	75 mi northwest	6,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KLZK Little Rock, AR	136 mi east-southeast	15,500 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.
