Which radars cover Thackerville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFWS (Dallas/Fort Worth, TX), about 84 miles south. 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 Thackerville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 84 mi south | 7,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 107 mi north | 10,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 112 mi west-northwest | 11,500 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.
