Which radars cover Strong City?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFDR (Frederick, OK), about 97 miles south-southeast. 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 Strong City | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 97 mi south-southeast | 9,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 111 mi northeast | 11,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KAMA Amarillo, TX | 122 mi west-southwest | 13,100 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.
