Which radars cover Henrietta?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFDR (Frederick, OK), about 59 miles northwest. 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 Henrietta | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 59 mi northwest | 4,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 100 mi south-southeast | 9,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDYX Dyess AFB, TX | 107 mi southwest | 10,700 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.
