Which radars cover Callisburg?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFWS (Dallas/Fort Worth, TX), about 80 miles south-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 Callisburg | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 80 mi south-southwest | 6,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 114 mi north | 11,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 121 mi west-northwest | 12,900 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.
