Which radars cover Weed?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHDX (Holloman AFB, NM), about 39 miles west-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 Weed	View
KHDX Holloman AFB, NM	39 mi west-northwest	2,600 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KEPZ El Paso, TX	93 mi southwest	8,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KFDX Cannon AFB, NM	168 mi northeast	21,800 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.
