Which radars cover Ramona?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KINX (Tulsa, OK), about 32 miles southeast. 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 Ramona | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 32 mi southeast | 2,000 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
