Which radars cover Wayne?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 29 miles north. 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 Wayne | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 29 mi north | 1,700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 102 mi west-southwest | 9,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KINX Tulsa, OK | 131 mi northeast | 14,700 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.
