Which radars cover Mutual?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVNX (Vance AFB, OK), about 68 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 Mutual | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 68 mi east-northeast | 5,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KDDC Dodge City, KS | 115 mi north-northwest | 11,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 123 mi east-southeast | 13,200 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.
