Which radars cover Deer Park?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMOB (Mobile, AL), about 38 miles south. 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 Deer Park | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMOB Mobile, AL | 38 mi south | 2,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
