Which radars cover Corinth?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFWS (Dallas/Fort Worth, TX), about 42 miles south-southwest. 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 Corinth | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 42 mi south-southwest | 2,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KDYX Dyess AFB, TX | 134 mi west-southwest | 15,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 138 mi northwest | 15,900 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.
