Which radars cover Alanreed?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KAMA (Amarillo, TX), about 55 miles west. 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 Alanreed | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KAMA Amarillo, TX | 55 mi west | 4,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
