Which radars cover Weatherford?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 80 miles east. 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 Weatherford | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 80 mi east | 6,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 83 mi south-southwest | 7,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 89 mi north-northeast | 8,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
