Which radars cover Tagg Flats?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KINX (Tulsa, OK), about 39 miles west-southwest. 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 Tagg Flats | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 39 mi west-southwest | 2,500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 79 mi south-southeast | 6,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 104 mi northeast | 10,200 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.
