Which radars cover Wagoner?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KINX (Tulsa, OK), about 18 miles northwest. 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 Wagoner | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 18 mi northwest | 1,000 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 74 mi southeast | 6,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 115 mi west-southwest | 12,000 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.
