Which radars cover Edna?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEWX (San Antonio, TX), about 97 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 Edna	View
KEWX San Antonio, TX	97 mi west-northwest	9,200 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KCRP Corpus Christi, TX	98 mi south-southwest	9,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KHGX Houston, TX	101 mi east-northeast	9,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
