Which radars cover Prague?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 34 miles west-southwest. 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 Prague | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 34 mi west-southwest | 2,200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 79 mi northeast | 6,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 117 mi northwest | 12,300 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.
