Which radars cover Annetta?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFWS (Dallas/Fort Worth, TX), about 23 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 Annetta | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 23 mi east-southeast | 1,300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KDYX Dyess AFB, TX | 93 mi west | 8,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 137 mi north-northwest | 15,700 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.
