Which radars cover Sapulpa?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KINX (Tulsa, OK), about 33 miles east-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 Sapulpa	View
KINX Tulsa, OK	33 mi east-northeast	2,100 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KTLX Oklahoma City, OK	80 mi southwest	6,800 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KSRX Fort Smith, AR	111 mi east-southeast	11,200 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.
