Which radars cover Guthrie?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLBB (Lubbock, TX), about 86 miles west. 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 Guthrie | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLBB Lubbock, TX | 86 mi west | 7,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 93 mi northeast | 8,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDYX Dyess AFB, TX | 97 mi southeast | 9,200 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.
