Which radars cover Spiro?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSRX (Fort Smith, AR), about 15 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 Spiro	View
KSRX Fort Smith, AR	15 mi east-northeast	800 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KINX Tulsa, OK	83 mi northwest	7,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KLZK Little Rock, AR	137 mi east	15,600 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.
