Which radars cover Verden?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 49 miles east-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 Verden | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 49 mi east-northeast | 3,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 71 mi southwest | 5,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 115 mi north | 11,800 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.
