Which radars cover Whitesboro?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSRX (Fort Smith, AR), about 50 miles northeast. 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 Whitesboro	View
KSRX Fort Smith, AR	50 mi northeast	3,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KINX Tulsa, OK	109 mi north-northwest	10,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KTLX Oklahoma City, OK	143 mi west-northwest	16,800 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.
