Which radars cover Loveland?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFDR (Frederick, OK), about 12 miles west-northwest. 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 Loveland | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 12 mi west-northwest | 600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
