Which radars cover Bogata?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSHV (Shreveport, LA), about 106 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 Bogata	View
KSHV Shreveport, LA	106 mi southeast	10,500 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KSRX Fort Smith, AR	135 mi north-northeast	15,300 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX	136 mi west-southwest	15,500 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.
