Which radars cover Mountain Park?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFDR (Frederick, OK), about 23 miles south. 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 Mountain Park | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 23 mi south | 1,300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 104 mi east-northeast | 10,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 149 mi north-northeast | 17,900 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.
