Which radars cover Coahoma?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMAF (Midland/Odessa, TX), about 57 miles west-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 Coahoma | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMAF Midland/Odessa, TX | 57 mi west-southwest | 4,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KSJT San Angelo, TX | 80 mi southeast | 6,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLBB Lubbock, TX | 98 mi north-northwest | 9,400 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.
