Which radars cover Tiawah?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KINX (Tulsa, OK), about 5 miles south-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 Tiawah | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 5 mi south-southwest | 300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 93 mi southeast | 8,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 116 mi west-southwest | 12,100 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.
