Which radars cover Andrews?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMAF (Midland/Odessa, TX), about 34 miles 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 Andrews	View
KMAF Midland/Odessa, TX	34 mi southeast	2,100 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KLBB Lubbock, TX	102 mi north-northeast	9,800 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KSJT San Angelo, TX	138 mi east-southeast	15,800 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.
