Which radars cover Asherton?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDFX (Laughlin AFB, TX), about 65 miles north-northwest. 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 Asherton	View
KDFX Laughlin AFB, TX	65 mi north-northwest	5,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KEWX San Antonio, TX	136 mi northeast	15,500 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KCRP Corpus Christi, TX	145 mi east-southeast	17,100 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.
