Which radars cover Dumas?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KAMA (Amarillo, TX), about 46 miles south-southeast. 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 Dumas | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KAMA Amarillo, TX | 46 mi south-southeast | 3,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KFDX Cannon AFB, NM | 126 mi southwest | 13,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLBB Lubbock, TX | 153 mi south | 18,700 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.
