Which radars cover Wann?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KINX (Tulsa, OK), about 53 miles south-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 Wann | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 53 mi south-southeast | 3,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KICT Wichita, KS | 104 mi west-northwest | 10,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 129 mi west | 14,300 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.
