Which radars cover Seminole?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 36 miles west. 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 Seminole | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 36 mi west | 2,300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 89 mi northeast | 8,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 129 mi east | 14,300 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.
