Which radars cover Mounds?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KINX (Tulsa, OK), about 35 miles 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 Mounds	View
KINX Tulsa, OK	35 mi northeast	2,200 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KTLX Oklahoma City, OK	78 mi west-southwest	6,600 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KSRX Fort Smith, AR	104 mi east-southeast	10,200 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.
