Which radars cover Coolidge?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFWS (Dallas/Fort Worth, TX), about 68 miles north-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 Coolidge	View
KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX	68 mi north-northwest	5,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KGRK Central Texas, TX	83 mi south-southwest	7,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KDYX Dyess AFB, TX	162 mi west-northwest	20,500 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.
