Which radars cover Gould?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFDR (Frederick, OK), about 50 miles east-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 Gould	View
KFDR Frederick, OK	50 mi east-southeast	3,600 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KAMA Amarillo, TX	116 mi west-northwest	12,100 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KLBB Lubbock, TX	136 mi west-southwest	15,500 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.
