Which radars cover Warr Acres?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 23 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 Warr Acres | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 23 mi southeast | 1,300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 89 mi north-northwest | 8,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 111 mi southwest | 11,300 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.
