Which radars cover Okay?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KINX (Tulsa, OK), about 26 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 Okay | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 26 mi north-northwest | 1,500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 66 mi southeast | 5,300 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 117 mi west-southwest | 12,200 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.
