Which radars cover Willow?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFDR (Frederick, OK), about 56 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 Willow	View
KFDR Frederick, OK	56 mi south-southeast	4,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KAMA Amarillo, TX	125 mi west	13,600 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KTLX Oklahoma City, OK	128 mi east	14,000 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.
