Which radars cover Dublin?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDYX (Dyess AFB, TX), about 62 miles west-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 Dublin | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDYX Dyess AFB, TX | 62 mi west-northwest | 4,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 69 mi east-northeast | 5,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KGRK Central Texas, TX | 110 mi south-southeast | 11,100 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.
