Which radars cover House?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFDX (Cannon AFB, NM), about 16 miles east. 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 House | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFDX Cannon AFB, NM | 16 mi east | 900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KAMA Amarillo, TX | 131 mi east-northeast | 14,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLBB Lubbock, TX | 138 mi east-southeast | 15,900 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.
