Which radars cover Bryson?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDYX (Dyess AFB, TX), about 66 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 Bryson	View
KDYX Dyess AFB, TX	66 mi southwest	5,300 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX	75 mi east-southeast	6,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KFDR Frederick, OK	89 mi north-northwest	8,100 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
