Which radars cover Rattan?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSRX (Fort Smith, AR), about 96 miles 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 Rattan	View
KSRX Fort Smith, AR	96 mi northeast	9,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KTLX Oklahoma City, OK	132 mi northwest	14,800 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KINX Tulsa, OK	137 mi north	15,700 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.
