Which radars cover Tuskahoma?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSRX (Fort Smith, AR), about 69 miles 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 Tuskahoma | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 69 mi northeast | 5,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
