Which radars cover Temple?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFFC (Atlanta, GA), about 37 miles 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 Temple	View
KFFC Atlanta, GA	37 mi southeast	2,400 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL	94 mi south-southwest	8,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KHTX Huntsville, AL	102 mi northwest	10,000 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.
