Which radars cover Causey?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFDX (Cannon AFB, NM), about 60 miles north-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 Causey | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFDX Cannon AFB, NM | 60 mi north-northwest | 4,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLBB Lubbock, TX | 77 mi east | 6,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KAMA Amarillo, TX | 124 mi northeast | 13,400 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.
