Which radars cover Bayside?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCRP (Corpus Christi, TX), about 28 miles 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 Bayside	View
KCRP Corpus Christi, TX	28 mi southwest	1,700 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KEWX San Antonio, TX	122 mi north-northwest	13,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KBRO Brownsville, TX	151 mi south	18,400 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.
