Which radars cover Christine?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEWX (San Antonio, TX), about 69 miles north-northeast. 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 Christine	View
KEWX San Antonio, TX	69 mi north-northeast	5,600 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KCRP Corpus Christi, TX	92 mi southeast	8,400 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KDFX Laughlin AFB, TX	113 mi west-northwest	11,600 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.
