Which radars cover Mill Creek?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 69 miles north-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 Mill Creek | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 69 mi north-northwest | 5,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
