Which radars cover Oaks?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KINX (Tulsa, OK), about 40 miles west. 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 Oaks	View
KINX Tulsa, OK	40 mi west	2,600 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KSRX Fort Smith, AR	67 mi south-southeast	5,300 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KSGF Springfield, MO	109 mi northeast	11,000 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.
