Which radars cover Allison?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KAMA (Amarillo, TX), about 94 miles west-southwest. 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 Allison	View
KAMA Amarillo, TX	94 mi west-southwest	8,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KFDR Frederick, OK	108 mi southeast	10,800 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KVNX Vance AFB, OK	135 mi northeast	15,400 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.
