Which radars cover Boerne?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEWX (San Antonio, TX), about 42 miles east. 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 Boerne | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEWX San Antonio, TX | 42 mi east | 2,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KDFX Laughlin AFB, TX | 100 mi west-southwest | 9,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KGRK Central Texas, TX | 103 mi northeast | 10,100 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.
