Which radars cover Yukon?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLX (Oklahoma City, OK), about 30 miles east-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 Yukon | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 30 mi east-southeast | 1,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KVNX Vance AFB, OK | 87 mi north-northwest | 7,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 105 mi southwest | 10,400 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.
