Which radars cover Corsicana?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFWS (Dallas/Fort Worth, TX), about 59 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 Corsicana | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 59 mi northwest | 4,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
