Which radars cover Coleman?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDYX (Dyess AFB, TX), about 50 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 Coleman | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDYX Dyess AFB, TX | 50 mi north-northeast | 3,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KSJT San Angelo, TX | 71 mi west-southwest | 5,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 134 mi east-northeast | 15,200 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.
