Which radars cover Brownsboro?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFWS (Dallas/Fort Worth, TX), about 100 miles west-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 Brownsboro | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 100 mi west-northwest | 9,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSHV Shreveport, LA | 104 mi east | 10,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KGRK Central Texas, TX | 151 mi southwest | 18,300 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.
