Which radars cover Comanche?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDYX (Dyess AFB, TX), about 58 miles northwest. 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 Comanche	View
KDYX Dyess AFB, TX	58 mi northwest	4,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX	89 mi east-northeast	8,100 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KGRK Central Texas, TX	109 mi southeast	10,900 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.
