Which radars cover Cibolo?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEWX (San Antonio, TX), about 15 miles 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 Cibolo | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEWX San Antonio, TX | 15 mi northeast | 800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KGRK Central Texas, TX | 94 mi north-northeast | 8,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDFX Laughlin AFB, TX | 126 mi west | 13,700 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.
