Which radars cover Lovell?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 54 miles south-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 Lovell | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 54 mi south-southeast | 3,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 55 mi north-northwest | 4,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KICT Wichita, KS | 111 mi north | 11,300 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.
