Which radars cover Crockett?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRK (Central Texas, TX), about 121 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 Crockett	View
KGRK Central Texas, TX	121 mi west-southwest	12,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KSHV Shreveport, LA	123 mi northeast	13,200 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KHGX Houston, TX	129 mi south	14,300 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.
