Which radars cover Vera?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KINX (Tulsa, OK), about 27 miles 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 Vera | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 27 mi southeast | 1,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 110 mi southwest | 11,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 117 mi southeast | 12,300 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.
