Which radars cover Aguilares?

| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Aguilares | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCRP Corpus Christi, TX | 100 mi east-northeast | 9,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDFX Laughlin AFB, TX | 145 mi north-northwest | 17,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
