Which radars cover Rocky Point?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KINX (Tulsa, OK), about 17 miles 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 Rocky Point | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 17 mi northwest | 900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 74 mi southeast | 6,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 120 mi west-southwest | 12,700 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.
