Which radars cover McCurtain?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSRX (Fort Smith, AR), about 36 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 McCurtain	View
KSRX Fort Smith, AR	36 mi east-northeast	2,300 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KINX Tulsa, OK	78 mi north-northwest	6,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KTLX Oklahoma City, OK	131 mi west	14,600 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.
